I think the merge is a bad idea.  attr and acl serve quite
different purposes and have been different source and binary packages in
distros forever.  I'd rather keep it as it was for now and maybe find
some way libacl could pick up libmisc from libattr.

There's a reason we split up xfs-cmds into more manageable repositories.
