Whoops :)  Copy/pasteo.

It might need a list of applications or a profile directory.  The deal
is that applications install .conf snippets into a certain polkit
directory, which should probably be one of those symlink trees, like
dbus.  The "service" side of polkit is something of a work in progress,
but I figured works-in-progress aren't so bad given that polkit is
completely unusable currently (AFAICS).
