getfacl output

[Ken Brown]

This is obviously very minor, but I bumped into it because of a failing 
emacs test.

Cygwin's getfacl prints only one colon after "mask" and "other", but 
Linux's prints two.  I'm sure this was done for a reason, but I'm 
wondering if it would be better to follow Linux.  I'll be glad to submit 
a patch.

The original version was designed after Solaris documentation,
but the layout is supposed to look like Linux for a while, so
ther missing colon is a bug.

Glad to review it :)

Hm. I can confirm this observation.
And as much as it does not make much sense from practical perspective, I can see
your point.
