On my F17 box, 'man fgetfilecon' has a listing, but 'man
fgetfilecon_raw' does not.  What is the difference between these
functions, and how far back into the past does fgetfilecon_raw exist?
Do we need to make this patch conditional, and fall back on fgetfilecon
(as it is better than nothing) on older systems that lack the *_raw
variants?
