[PATCH] write extended attributes by using fsetxattr

From: Stefan Tomanek <stefan.tomanek_at_wertarbyte.de>
Date: Wed, 10 Nov 2010 10:15:13 +0100

Instead of reopening the downloaded file, fsetxattr uses the (already
open) file descriptor to attach extended attributes. This makes the
procedure more robust against errors caused by moved or deleted files.
