 the solution to ensuring that a setfiles run (make relabel)
 is done correctly is to record, in a separate file/database
 (e.g.  file_context_alt_labels) what the present "fourth
 parameter" is.

 [a database would be better than a flat file].

 the index would need to be the regexp (e.g. /var/www/(/.*)?) and the
 data would need to be the "fourth parameter" (e.g. "alternate").
