Hey, cool, somebody noticed :)
And since you asked, you'll get to know, whether you want or not ;)

Yes, indeed.  since the NULL access mask is not needed for actual
permission checking by Windows, we can use the bit as they fit our
needs.  The reason for using them in this order are their bit values.

  FILE_READ_EA  =3D=3D 0x08       S_IXOTH =3D=3D 0x01
  FILE_WRITE_EA =3D=3D 0x10       S_IWOTH =3D=3D 0x02
  FILE_EXECUTE  =3D=3D 0x20       S_IROTH =3D=3D 0x04

To convert from Windows to POSIX and vice versa, a simple shift
operation is sufficient.  Reordering just to fit the symbolic name
would complicate the conversion unnecessarily.
