The calls are in the beta images - and the caveat list says they will
change. Since nothing as yet is really using them I was not in a hurry
to get this sorted out - but it does make tree merges a pain. We do need
to find a solution, although I suspect it would only be a temporary one
given the fact that there is at least one other extended attribute
interface out there (http://acl.bestbits.at/). It has just not made it to
the top of the list yet.
