[paraphrased, and edited]

(Duane) describing the problem

(Barry)  .. click click click right click .. click click to undo this crazyness
(steve)  DO not do this .. you can break things in really bad ways

I would agree, I did not have time to reply yet.

My comment would be this:
	This is not an appropriate solution - is very HUMAN ERROR prone
	It does not scale well to others not familiar with the process.

	Cygwin should just work, or the feature that causes this should be disabled

assuming that it is the ACLs,  my questions are 

1)  How do I disable the ACL feature completely?

2) How can I determine if the ACL feature is enabled?
	I need to put this test in a few build scripts
	I need to prevent execution if the situation exists
        if  `SOMETEST`
        then
              echo “FIX THIS BUILD FAIL”
              exit 1
         fi
