Patch for bug 166 - setting ACLs on a share from XP

[Chere Zhou]

Is this to set/modify share permissions from Windows?  I don't know that I 
can do this before, and am still wondering how to do it if it is.  Where the 
share permissions get stored?  smb.conf?   Hey, I am interested in using it, 
just tell me how!
