I still think this xattr approach is the way to go. 

Note that for the usage by the "sysusers" tool I wrote a completely
new word parser in unquote_many_words() that deals in a much saner way
with quotation marks. We really should rework tmpfiles to make use of
that. That should deal with many of the quoting problems?
