Well, after thinking twice about this, you CAN preserve states between
ACLs, but it needs some work :)

1.) The easy way:
      Use embedded perl, to set and retrieve the states
2.) The more complex one:
      Use an external daemon, that listens to a unix-socket and use
      readsocket to save and retrieve the state.
