It can't be done, because there's no portable way to get/set
permissions. It's not in APR, and it probably can't ever be. At most,
the only portable concepts we can (and do) have are, "make this file
executable" and "make the file read-only". There's no portable way to
be more fine-grained than that. Unix and Windows have vastly different
permissions systems.
