The check_system security check provides a method to apply custom security checks (via check.tbl scripts).  This patch expands this to make tiger more plugable by replacing the functionality of check.tbl with a check.d/.

My goal here is to provide a tiger-hp package, with a dependancy on the tiger package, that contains HP specific checks (like validation of HP legal banner, etc).  In order to do this under Debian I would need to divert the check.tbl file from the tiger package.  Instead of doing this, I think it make more sense to create a check.d/ infrastructure where parasitic packages (like tiger-hp) can simply drop (and own) these files.  Also I think this method make more sense for other packaging systems that do not have the divert capabilities.

I have successfully built the tiger package from cvs HEAD with this patch applied (barring some other packaging bugs that I will submit seperately).
