I'd like to point out that init already has compile-time defines in the
code which check for the existence of SELinux (using the variable
WITH_SELINUX). If WITH_SELINUX is not defined at compile time, then the
SELinux code isn't built into init. So other projects, perhaps Debian
Hurd or FreeBSD, can already build init without SELinux features.
