to be precise... support for pyxattr and pylibacl are in the
development 0.13 branch of rdiff-backup and not in the stable 0.12
branch. Maybe if we all make puppy dog faces in Colin's general
direction we can guilt him into taking a look at the 0.13.4
rdiff-backup release and seeing how good the xattr support is.
