I fully realize you did not introduce the current naming scheme in
acl-util.c, but more stomping on the "acl_" namespace that currently
lives in libacl.so seems like a bad idea - they'd be fully within their
rights to introduce a symbol acl_calc_mask_if_needed() which we'd
transparently shadow.


Anyways, on to the actual content of the patch...I've sat down with 
"man 5 acl", and it seems possible to me you're still reintroducing the
bug Lennart was trying to fix.  From his commit message, I think it's
that /var/log had an ACL with group-executable in the default ACL, we'll
end up recalculating the mask still, and that would include the group
execute.

I wonder if it would work better to *not* do the fchmod() #if HAVE_ACL,
and instead set that explicitly using the ACL API.

Regardless though, Lennart should review this patch, I'm just adding
comments since I want to see it in; the current state is totally broken.
