Re: Is there a fast way to get acl's for the whole filesystem (or chunk thereof)

Maybe this is a dumb or provocative question, but why does Cygwin provide
the Solaris API rather than the POSIX one. Particularly, since Linux (and
Fedora/RehHat in particular) seem to provide the POSIX one (or at least
provide '-R' along with many other options)?
