setfacl(2.4.0.13): options --no-mask and --mask

[Houder <houder at xs4all dot nl>]

Hi Corinna,

Euh ... I do not pretend to be familiar (less understand) with the 
features
that go into 2.4.0 (as I have no need for them) ...

... but, by just browsing the source code of setfacl and by just looking 
at
the user interface of setfacl ... See below.

Regards,
Henri
