Highly unlikely. The cygwin developers change as little as possible
and the gnutar code compiles with no changes.
I have a demo copy of MicroSoft's equivalent to cygwin, "Services For Unix"
(SFU). Their tar (which is really pax) specifically says it will not do
Windows ACL's. If M$ doesn't do it, unlikely the cygwin developers at
RedHat will.
