I don't have much time to test it right now (and won't have any time at all
next week), but so far things look good.  The problem with the 0.2 test
version with UID/GID mapping and not recognizing the primary domain in some
cases is gone (might have been a fluke anyway).  Correlating the output from
getfacl and icacls still requires some mental gymnastics, but I didn't find
any obvious errors in the mode bits and ACL so far, which means that things
like rsync (and some file tests) will now return the correct results for the
cases I've looked at.
You won't believe how grateful I am having you testing this.  Thank you!

Would you mind to read the comment at the start of sec_acl.cc?
https://sourceware.org/git/?p=newlib-cygwin.git;a=blob;f=winsup/cygwin/sec_acl.cc;hb=a8ec1e804ee9ba2d6f8304731e593dcf167c9836#l27

I'd be
very interested in learning if the description is meaningful enough to
other developers.  I also fear we need to have an improved documentation
explaining how this works and what NOT to do, e.g., reorder ACLs :|
Sorry for the late response...
The description is mostly meaningful. Just the coexistence of X and X_OBJ entries isn't self-explanatory.
