Yes, 0600 and 0666 are the same on Windows. When using the Posix
emulation functions, such as _chmod, there's only 1 bit that describes
whether the file is writable or not.
If we really care about this, we need to use the security API, where a
full-blown ACL functionality is available.
Alternatively, we could simply let the call fail for files not
writable by the user: after all, this is what the Windows Explorer
will do when you delete files through it.
