😮😮😮 <--- face with open mouth
Corinna, this is unbelievable!!
Why are you hiding such a GEM??

Seriously, why is this not in /usr/include/acl.h?

Windows (mingw, Visual Studio, Borland C) does not have an acl.h
header, and there is no /usr/include/acl.h on Linux, so please do a
echo "#include <cygwin/acl.h>" >/usr/include/acl.h

Thanks,
Martin
