The common interface wouldn't have to try to use every feature of the
ACLs in the underlying filesystem. Even a least-common-demoninator
interface would be much better than nothing. Maybe restrict to
directory ACLs only, etc.

The problem is that systems that use per-file ACL's are very different
from systems that use directory ACL's --- apples and oranges. You can't
map one to the other; there is no least common denominator.
