Summary: Fix for lack of permission-related file attributes on MinGW

Initial Comment:
On the MinGW platform, files can only be read-write or read-only. It lacks concepts like the executable-bit, user-id, group-id and the distinction between "user", "group" and "other" permissions flags.

The solution was to define the missing flags as zero, and comment out the code which depend on the availability of chown.

In my opinion, the resulting behavior is correct from the point of view of a Windows user, in the sense that the backup files are still being marked as read-only.

Regards,
Cesar
