Guess this means I have to tweak my ACL parser in phpPgAdmin. If you
could do something to make that less of a NIGHTMARE, i'd be all ears :P

ie.

1. Make it easy to convert an array to a rowset

2. Fabien's accessor functions? Would they help?

3. At least the quoting has been fixed in 7.4 though

4. Maybe even a function that takes an aclitem and returns....something...
