My plan is to get the SELinux plugin done ASAP, just to see how things 
work out in practise. On paper the current hook set should be easily 
sufficient to for the job, but you never *really* know until you try it :)

Dont worry about the SELinux stuff, I'll take care of that. So feel free 
to start looking into the remaining hooks and plugin initialization 
rework - they shouldn't affect the SELinux plugin much as all the 
initialization it needs can happen (and does in my prototype plugin) 
from TSM_PRE.
