The basics for using ACLs on ext2/3 partitions is:
* Having a patched kernel to allow it
* Having the ACL utilities

+Now!
+With the patched kernel, the appropriate options are (in menuconfig):
+File systems->POSIX Access Control Lists
+File systems->Ext3 journalling file system support
+File systems->Ext3 journalling file system support->Ext3 extended attributes
+File systems->Ext3 journalling file system support->Ext3 extended attributes->Ext3 POSIX Access Control Lists
