I have no objection to Mark's load_v4 patch so long as it does not
interfere with the normal behavior, which is everything deriving
from the dbname specified on kdb5_util's command line.
I believe Mark's load_v4 patch does do this, although the reason why he
needed it alludes to some tests which in fact wants to manually set the
policy database name instead of letting it use the default derived
name. Mark, is this true, and if so, is it really necessary?
Once the OV tests no longer need to depend on it, we may want to nuke
this functionality altogether; I don't think there's any really good
reason for it, and simplifying the code is a good thing.
