Set default DACL in setup.exe


Hi,

for reasons written about in cygwin-developers (see thread
"Silly ACL problems") I have patched setup.exe to create
all files with full access for everyone on NT/W2K as long
as the parent directory doesn't define propagated permissions.

This is done by changing the default DACL in the process token.

Ok to check in?

ChangeLog:
==========

2001-08-07  Corinna Vinschen  <corinna@vinschen.de>

	* autoload.c: Add dynamic load statements for NT/W2K
	advapi32 functions not available in 9x/ME.
	* main.cc (set_default_dacl): New function.
	(WinMain): Call `set_default_dacl' if running on NT/W2K.
