The best starting point seems to be 

http://docs.sun.com:80/ab2/coll.40.5/REFMAN2/@Ab2PageView/20592?

the man page for facl(2)

If NT does it different, I am wondering how they match the requirements
of the US government for this topic.

On the other side, if you find a way how to do it good, I am interested
as I like to add ACL support to 'star'

ftp://ftp.fokus.gmd.de/pub/unix/star/alpha/star-1.3a5.tar.gz

compiles on Cygwin32 and has even some special features to fiddle with
the 2 second time warps in a FAT filesystem.
