Ouch.  Cygwin 1.7 has faccessat but not euidaccess, and it currently has
bugs (including no AT_EACCESS support, even though AT_EACCESS is defined).
 Depending on how quickly those bugs are fixed, both the euidaccess module
and my soon-to-come faccessat module will need to deal with them (but I'm
hoping that cygwin fixes it first; my argument all along has been that any
bug in beta cygwin 1.7.0 is not worth working around in gnulib until
cygwin 1.7.1 is a formal release).

I'll post a module for this shortly.
