To be more precise, Cygwin doesn't support ACL APIs for files beyond what Windows provides (and those are really outside of Cygwin). Cygwin obviously has to be aware of ACLs to construct them for the POSIX permission mapping. I probably should've said: Cygwin doesn't "think" in terms of ACLs, but in terms of POSIX permissions...
