Currently mkdir, mknod, and mkfifo support a -m option to set the mode.
Install has options to also set the owner and group.
I think that all programs which set the uid and gid of a file should also be
able to set the SE Linux context.
It also seems reasonable that a program which can create a file with
particular permissions should also be permitted to create it with a
particular context.

Oh well, if you merge most of the changes then that's still less work for us
in maintaining patches.
