Thanks, I missed that functionality several times.

But unfortunaltely this change introduced a regression.
This testcase is from the syslog-ng-config script and worked with 
1.7.33-0.2:

$ setfacl -m u:system:rwx FILE
setfacl: Invalid argument

Hmm...
$ git diff cygwin-1.7.32-0.2
...
-  else if ((lcnt = acl (path, GETACL, MAX_ACL_ENTRIES, lacl)) < 0
-      || (lcnt = modacl (lacl, lcnt, acls, cnt)) < 0
-      || (action != Delete && (lcnt = addmissing (lacl, lcnt)) < 0)
-      || (lcnt = acl (path, SETACL, lcnt, lacl)) < 0)
...
+    default:
+      if ((lcnt = acl (path, GETACL, MAX_ACL_ENTRIES, lacl)) < 0
+         || (lcnt = modacl (lacl, lcnt, acls, cnt)) < 0
+         || (lcnt = addmissing (lacl, lcnt) < 0)   // <==== Hmm.... :-)
+         || (lcnt = acl (path, SETACL, lcnt, lacl)) < 0)

This works as expected.

Interesting:
The windows PATH is set to "\\?\X:\cygwin_dir\bin" instead of 
"X:\cygwin_dir\bin". This apparently works to find DLLs by 
CreateProcess() but not to find commands by cmd.exe:

$ export PATH=/bin

$ /cygdrive/c/Windows/System32/cmd /c PATH
PATH=C:\cygwin\bin

$ /cygdrive/c/Windows/System32/cmd /c uname
CYGWIN_NT-6.1-WOW64

$ unset PATH

$ /cygdrive/c/Windows/System32/cmd /c PATH
PATH=\\?\C:\cygwin\bin

$ /cygdrive/c/Windows/System32/cmd /c uname
... some localized 'uname not found' message


Thanks,
Christian
