That's an improvement thanks.
I'd be a bit happier if it was more terse (pardon the pun).
Could this bit instead be:


      printf (_("\n\
--terse is equivalent to the following FORMAT:\n\
    %s"),
#if HAVE_SELINUX_SELINUX_H
fmt_terse_selinux
#else
fmt_terse_regular
#endif
);

I used the define rather than is_selinux_enabled()
to give less variability in the man pages and
to indicate in --help that selinux is significant.

cheers,
Pádraig
