Hmm, I don't know nothing about that one. I did some reading about object
manager and on of the functions of it is to translate those generic access flags
into appropriate full attributes. What interesting is that it's not per object
but per object type. So all files (real files, named pipes, etc) have the same
mapping.
I'm not sure how far should we go with this. But I have a big work cut out for
me fixing wine's object manager.
