I *was* preparing to maintain squid w/automake (once 1.5 goes gold) on
cygwin, but in the interim I've moved by main PC to Debian, so it
doesn't affect me at all.

An important thing to not:

AFAIK this is a testcase-only failure we're talking about. It *did not*
affect me with cygwin, ntfs, ntsec and automake-HEAD (which had the
chmod -R a-w under discussion.)
	
Chuck - have you tried make distcheck with a trivial package? My wager
is that that will work a-ok.
