I think I asked the wrong question. It's clear from looking at the
Gnulib sources that Gnulib supports Solaris ACL functions on Cygwin.
But emacs doesn't use these functions. AFAICT, fileio.c only uses ACL
functions on systems that have POSIX ACL functions. So the Gnulib code
doesn't help. Or am I misunderstanding something?
