I just did a little experiment with 7-Zip and ACL's. I created a file and gave it "weird" privileges. I tar'd it with cygwin. When I untar with cygwin, the ACL for the file is restored correctly. When I untar with 7-Zip, the ACL has been replaced with one that grants full access to everyone.
Likewise, if I tar with 7-Zip, it trashes the ACL for the file (in the archive). It doesn't matter what I use to extract with. The privileges information has been lost. 7-Zip might be a wonderful compression tool, but I don't think much of it's archiving capabilities. I would not recommend it.
