Wine does not support ACL on files. Nor will it support them in the near future.
However this should not affect anything since Wine is using file security of the
underlaying OS.

As far as security goes - since Wine is a 100% user space app it does not
require any additional rights to install programs. Unlike windows where one have
to be an administrator to do so. This means that all files Wine generate are
owned by you (as user) and you have full 100% access to them.
