Apple has also made a big chnage from a Unix-like permission model to 
ACLs. They introduced ACL in the last upgrade, X.4, so developers would 
see it, but Apple did not do anything to require its use. In OS X.5 ACLs 
are more prominent, but still not required. The old Unix-like stuff works 
fine. I expect that in X.6 the OS will be slanted to using ACLs.

That is how to do it gracefully.
