What is needed is working ACL functions.  The posix ones are broken
(e.g. acl_get_entry() has completely wrong return values), and even if I
work around that, I can't find any way to interpret the ACLs enough to
figure out the user/group IDs involved along with the access bits.  We
need code that can list and set the ACLs (even if it uses OS X specific
routines).
