It appears the win32 extensions lack this capability. My MSDN CD has an
article "HOWTO: Set Security on a NTFS Folder Programmatically" that
shows exactly what you want (although in VB code!).
It would be cool to add this support, and not _too_ much work - I would
be happy to help, but don't have the time to do it all right now...
