I'll definitely have a closer look at it during the christmas days. However
would it be possible for you to make some comparisons between other open source
or not open source implementations of MAC or/and rule based access controls
such as referred to in the Orange Book, in POSIX1e or various thesis? I would
like to get some information about the implementation model used (although I
can and will of course glance at the code) and what is different to other 
models like the ones used in:

RSBAC           (http://www.rsbac.org)
argus-B1        (http://www.argus-systems.com/)
Trusted Solaris (somewhere in the depth of http://www.sun.com)
Trusted Irix    (http://oss.sgi.com/projects/ob1/)

and lots of others...
