acl: make acl_entries work reliably

2008-06-02 Thread Bruno Haible
Hi Jim, In my tests, I found that the textual representation of ACLs varies much more than the API used to access the ACLs. The acl_entries() function, currently, converts the ACL to a string whose format is undocumented and then starts counting newlines. This is already known to go wrong on IRIX
