I have attached a patch. It fixes the calculation of the ACLs for a topics and hierchical webs.

Yet, topic ACLs are not correctly calculated, because if the topic-prefs are not set, the web-prefs should be the one to look at. This has not been done yet.

We had no support for hierchical-webs-acl calculation at all. Using subwebs without acl-prefs would not cause in using the parent web ones

It took me a while to track down what the fuck was going wrong with the plugin, until I discovered this report (which was left in "New" state, even though a checkin had been made against it).

There is no need to have a separate function for evaluating what is already evaluated in the standard mechanism. I will be reverting this.
