I haven't been following this very well, but are we talking about
read-only-ness or real security permissions? Windows has a read-only
attribute which has nothing to do with security and then real security
settings (including enforced read/write/etc permissions). The read-only
attribute is just a user-overrideable flag.
If we're talking real security permissions, then yes, I don't think APR
can do that. However, since Windows uses ACL based permissions that are
inherited automatically from the parent directory (unless configured
otherwise), is this storing/restoring actually needed on Windows?
