We found the description of filesystem perms enumerator [1] confussing and started a discussion on boost mailinglist [2]. It appears the filesystem uses the readonly attribute to set permissions and does not use Windows ACL at all. We believe that the current docs should be updated to give a better description of the permissions functionality.
We also believe this windows warning[1] is somewhat hidden and it would be usefull if this warning was included in the permissons description [3].
