NFSv4-patched ACL lib dependencies

[Paarvai Naai]

Hi Kevin,

Thanks for your email.  This looks very promising.

If I am to understand correctly, would the plan be to place
libnfsidmap.so, libnfsidmap_nsswitch.so, libnfsidmap_static.so in /lib
and libnfsidmap_umich_ldap.so in /usr/lib?  This way /lib/libacl.so
can be linked against /lib/libnfsidmap.so and remove all dependencies
on /usr/lib during bootup.

Thanks again,
Paarvai
