No, not yet. My first preference is to publish star-1.5 and then
implement the  NTFS/NFSv4 ACL support. The textual format for
the ACL entries has been negotiated with Sun and the implementation
should be already in libsec. For the high level part (e.g. whether
I need to intruduce something like SCHILY.acl.acltype), I am not ready
with my decisions. I expect to add the code in early 2008.
