support for a new platform (search for DO_USER_XATTR_COPYING):
CMakeLists.txt
Add test for any external library used; the library to be linked must
be given in USER_XATTR_LIBRARIES.
tdeio.tdeio/CMakeLists.txt
Add the new C preprocessor definition (after the existing one for
HAVE_ATTR__ATTR_COPY_FILE).
tdeio/tdeio/job.cpp
Add new boilerplate code and attribute copy function call (both wrapped

tdeio/tdeio/README.xattr (this file)
Add additional notes as appropriate.
Also add any distribution-specific library requirements to the tde-packaging
repository.

One may also need to run:
killall tdeio_file
