You cannot convert between traditional unix permissisons and ACL:s. Either you
manage ACL:s or not. The traditional form is fortunately just a special case of posix
ACL:s. Here is a getfacl example. Just feed it to setfacl to set permissions according
to the dump.

$ getfacl README
# file: README
# owner: me
# group: me
user::rw-
group::r--
group:apache:rwx
mask::rwx
other::r--

Windows ACL.s are different though.
