Thanks, but I don't want a generic ACL parser. This is what people
seem to be missing. I need an intermediate format that is capable
of representing the permission checks we do on share acls only.
That is to say, "R|F|D" *only*. The libsmclient parser allows ACL
type, flags and full 32-bit mask to be specified. This is a lot
more than is needed for the human visible format of share acls.

Thanks for the pointer though, I may use this in other areas.

Jeremy.
