No, my patch can't be accepted as it removes permissions handling
completely. It wasn't me who started the thread and I believe, my
patch can be of interest for anyone else who will search for a
solution for this specific problem.
Anyway, I don't see how an option to switch off permissions handling
by setup.exe can harm while there is similar functionality in cygwin
itself. My very limited understanding of C is not enough to do this,
and I never worked with GUI applications. But I will see if it can be
done via command line switch and if I succeed, I will submit a proper
patch.
