I don't think there's more than the "Declaring actions" part of
http://www.freedesktop.org/software/polkit/docs/latest/polkit.8.html.

Just hard-code the directory name; if the directory name ever changed,
the format of the .policy files would very likely change as well, so
adding a macro wouldn't save any work.

I can't find official documentation; I'd suggest that using the same
format as most other files do.
