This patch adds the ability to store and retrieve the security attributes of a file by turning them into extended file attributes (if available). These attributes are stored in the attribute "user.WINEACL" in the form: <ACE1>;<ACE2>;...;<ACEN> where each ACE takes the form: <Type>,<Flags>,<Mask>,<SID> With this information it is possible to more accurately store the ACL information files, and also allows patch 5 to tell whether it's necessary for an ACL to be inherited by a contained file in a folder.
I don't see the need for an uppercase "WINEACL" in the attribute name, especially since all the examples in e.g. attr(5) are lowercase. Moreover, [1] recommends using application specific namespaces in the attribute name, so IMHO a better attribute name would be "user.wine.acl".

Thanks for your work on this :)
