The "getfacl" command has the "--skip-base" option:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
~> getfacl --access --omit-header ~/.emacs 2>/dev/null
user::rwx
group::rwx
other::r-x
~> getfacl --access --omit-header --skip-base ~/.emacs
~> 
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I could apply this. And it shall be possible in the native Ffile_acl
function as well. Romain?
