setuid root helper for PolicyKit to resolve /proc/$pid/exe symlinks
"Add constraints for exe and SELinux context when granting an
authorization. The way it works is that added constraints now look
like this:
scope=always:action-id=org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-fixed:
when=1197008218:auth-as=0:constraint=local:constraint=active:
constraint=exe%3A%2Fusr%2Fbin%2Fgnome-mount
This is a bit icky to implement for mechanisms, like HAL, running
as an unprivileged user. The problem is that we can't resolve the
symlink /proc/pid/exe. On the other hands such mechanisms has the
authorization org.freedesktop.policykit.read already. So use that."
