If you are using the CIL compiler to build the whole policy, then it doesn't 
matter where the files are located. Just specify all of the files that are part 
of the policy on the command line for secilc.

Do note that the CIL compiler does not build modules, it builds the complete 
policy, so if you are only building a module than it should go into the policy 
store. You should also use the policy store if you want to use the management 
functions of semanage.
