We can extend PGACE framework to mount TrustedSolaris features.
If they need new hooks which is not used in SE-PostgreSQL, it can
remain the default behavior.
The default PGACE behavior gives us no effects in access controls.
A flexible framework is worthwhile for both operating systems.
Please confirm it to the TS folks.
