Jason, 

this might return true on Win9X if a user has defined
CYGWIN=ntsec and checks a file mounted on an NT class machine.
You need to add && wincap.has_security().

Also, it's sometimes useful to know the value of allow_ntsec alone.
Could you return that, e.g. if filename is NULL?

Thanks

Pierre
