  JustinMason: ok, that looks good -- except for one thing.  We still have the problem that ROOT/rules/trunk/core/ is going to be a mix of legacy files and auto-promoted rules.  What do we do about that problem?
+ 
+ DanielQuinlan: the auto-promoted .cf file should be 100% machine generated and overwritten each night (or whatever the period is).   Once a rule is promoted into core, it'll disappear from the auto-promoted file because (a) overlap test dictates so or (b) the non-core file that contained the file will no longer contain it (or we could use a comment, rename the rule, etc. to indicate that it is no longer a candidate for auto-promotion if the author wants to keep it around).

   * if the config line doesn't refer to a rule name, output the line.
   * send that output to a file in ROOT/rules/trunk/core/ , named according to the sandbox directory's name.  e.g. lines from all files matching ROOT/rules/trunk/sandbox/jmason/*.cf would be output to ROOT/rules/trunk/core/25_jmason.cf
