Description Chris PeBenito (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

Current portage's selinux uses the selinux_aux (python-selinux) python bindings which are hand written wrappers of libselinux.  Libselinux now provides its own swig wrapper.  This patch switches portage over to use the libselinux swig wrapper.  It also changes the portage selinux functions to closely resemble the functions they replace for better understanding, eg, selinux.copyfile() for shutil.copyfile().  The patch also removes the special case fallback to /bin/mv during install, since the SELinux-enabled /bin/mv now does the right thing SELinux-wise without additional commandline switches.

The second patch updates the portage ebuild to change the selinux? dependency from python-selinux to libselinux.

Please apply.
