Pharo uses them. 

Posix permissions are useful for both linux and mac. 
Windows uses also the posix permissions that came with MinGW… I do not think they are useful but we provide them anyway :)

ps: I do not know what are you doing there guys, but you broke my builds (I’m taking a look at them now) :P

Long filename support for win32 was recently added by Marcel Taumel in May of this year.  Are you tracking that?  How can we keep the sources harmonized?
