Actually, I think I'd like to have a tree of test policies, e.g.
refpolicy/trunk (test policy relative to refpolicy trunk)
refpolicy/redhat/5 (test policy relative to rhel5)
refpolicy/fedora/10 (test policy relative to fedora 10)
refpolicy/debian/5 (test policy relative to debian 5.0)

Only I'm not sure we necessarily want one for every fedora release due
to their short life cycles.  But it looks like the test policy for f11
will be different than f10 (I have a patch to at least get it to build
without warnings, but am still working through some test failures on
f11).
