The copy_file function, used by GNU gettext, attempts to copy the ACLs from
the source file to the destination file. The 'acl' module is not well
maintained currently: it yields an error message on MacOS X 10.5 and fails
to copy the ACLs on HP-UX 11 and possibly also on Solaris 10.
Before I can do any modification on it, I needed to get an overview of the
topic.
Essentially, every system does it differently:
Linux
Solaris
FreeBSD
MacOS X
HP-UX
IRIX
Tru64
AIX
AIX >= 5.3
Cygwin
mingw
Five among these systems have similar API, based on an old POSIX draft that
was withdrawn (!).
