[Box Backup-dev] Extended attributes on FreeBSD 5/6

Hi all,

I just had a quick poke around FreeBSD to see how Robert Watson's
implemented ACLs, and it seems to use /usr/include/sys/acl.h instead of
xattr.h.

I guess xattr support for FreeBSD isn't going to make it for the 0.10
release now, but it'd be nice to have it in a future release.

I'd like to help with the implementation of this as much as possible,
but my C++ is very limited so the best I can offer is probably shell
access or a jail for testing.

James
