- Fix acl(2) by handling deny ACEs at all.


- Implement the POSIX 1003.1e functions (maybe simply in terms of
   the existing Solaris API).

- Add missing Solaris ACL functions (acl_get, facl_get, acl_set, facl_set,
   acl_fromtext, acl_totext, acl_free, acl_strip, acl_trivial).

- Add Solaris NFSv4 ACLs, which, coincidentally, are almost equivalent
   to Windows ACLs.  This would work nicely for NTFS ACLs, of course.
   See http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-2252/acl-5?l=en&a=view

- Last but not least: Actually handle "mask".
did you have any further look into any of these points?



Sorry no - open-source-time was too limited for these rather complex issues :-)
