After reading this page
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/237701
It appears I was able to use icacls on root with this syntax
$ icacls 'C:\.' /save 'C:\acl.txt'
processed file: C:\.
Successfully processed 1 files; Failed processing 0 files
$ icacls 'C:\.' /restore 'C:\acl.txt'
processed file: C:\.\.
Successfully processed 1 files; Failed processing 0 files
However after introducing setfacl it fails
$ setfacl --remove-all /cygdrive/c
$ icacls 'C:\.' /restore 'C:\acl.txt'
C:\.\.: Access is denied.
