This is an interesting problem, and one that I had not considered.  The cool
part about having our rules in other packages is that it allows people that
[should] know the packages better than we do to maintain the rules, while
also saving cycles on machines by not having unnecessary rules.

The best method I can come up with to get *all* rules is to write a script
that parses the contents search[1] results and extracts the rules from each
package.

Cheers,
-Todd
