Programs linked with libselinux open and parse /etc/selinux/config whether
they need it or not. I've submitted a patch several times (but its not been
accepted) to do a lazy init of libselinux's internal variables. For example,
mv, cp. & ls read the file even if they do not need it. I wonder if doing
lazy init helps any. I'll see if I can update the patch to current code.
