Here is a patch for that.
It didn't quite achieve the elegance I was hoping for. Most uses of
acl.h actually use aclchk.c functions, and the new aclchk.h must include
acl.h, so basically you end up just changing most includes of acl.h to
aclchk.h while still effectively including acl.h everywhere. But I
think having one header file serve two separate .c files is still a
confusing pattern that is worth cleaning up.
