I think that the allow_execmod boolean only allows execmod permission to
files labeled with the new texrel_shlib_t type.  Or at least that is
what it should do.  Any existing occurrences of execmod permission in
the policy should be changed to use texrel_shlib_t now that it is
defined, and then any DSOs that require it should be relabeled to that
type.
