sent too early...

for me, toys/android is for stuff where android is different from other
systems. so SELinux stuff where you can just use the exact same code on,
say, Ubuntu, doesn't go there. but SELinux stuff that's specific to android
extensions to libselinux --- that does. commands for android-only things
like system properties --- they do. but cases where the android
implementation is the same as other systems --- that wouldn't make any
sense in there. pending or other or whatever would make more sense.

(and this is ignoring the fact that android doesn't use smack, which is
what these two are talking about here... smack-only commands especially
wouldn't make sense in an android directory. but android-specific getprop
and setprop commands wouldn't make sense in an lsm directory either, or
indeed any directory that didn't make it clear that this is really
android-only.)
