Cygwin is installed as part of a proposed deployment solution that's
competing with MSI (*shudder*),
so it's indeed a Cygwin problem. The current archiver on the Unix
(Solaris) side happens to be
tar, but anything that could be packed under Solaris and unpacked with a
Cygwin command line
in such a way to preserve Windows ACLs is what is needed to help slay
the MSI dragon.
