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.
