While newer versions of rsync can handle ACLs (and for Linux SELinux),
backuppc does *not* back them up at all. Moreover, at least cygwin
rsync only handles the POSTFIX portion of Windows ACLs (that generated
by getfacl/setfacl) while Windows uses a more extensive set of ACLs
that can be retrieved/set via 'subinacl'
