Commit 16755848 added ‘install-lib’ (before that libacl.so was not
installed), but yeah, installing headers would have been cool too.  ;-)

ISTR that the ‘install’ target installs only the executables.

Heh.

Anyway, this is depended on by Coreutils, so changes should go to
core-updates.

In the meantime, you can always add a fixed version of ACL for use in
KDE (you could even add a ‘replacement’ field pointing to it in ‘acl’
itself, although that doesn’t seem like a very good use case.)

Thanks for looking into it!
