I thought of that, but I believe they are defined in the
internal bits, so they'd need to be moved into the "official"
part of the headers. Would be nice to have them on, say,
win32 as well. I believed they were POSIX.

I'd think:

#define S_IRGRP S_IRUSR
#define S_IWGRP S_IWUSR
#define S_IXGRP S_IXUSR
#define S_IROTH S_IRUSR
#define S_IWOTH S_IWUSR
#define S_IXOTH S_IXUSR

since everyone on win32 is owner of the file.
I don't think anyone would want to have a file readable by
the world but not by the user :)
