There's a define in proto-slap.h that passes a NULL
as the new argument when not required (e.g. by
regular usage).  This was the least impacting way
I could find to avoid duplication of code/bugs thru
access check and simultaneously getting the mask
instead of the go/nogo.

Another way could be to change access_allowed into
a routine that returns the mask, and implement
access_allowed as a wrapper that compares the
returned mask to the requested access.

Mmmmh, this sounds even cleaner...

Ando.
