bifcl supports enums (it just casts them as a "neutral" Val*, same as
for record types). So it would just be a matter of telling bifcl to
accept the Namespace::Type name syntax. That should be it.

The C part doesn't really care about the type. It's all a "netural"
Val*. The type is only used for the policy file and type checking.

EnumType and EnumVal should make accessing the enum's value relatively
easy. I'm using that in my re-working of the NFS analyzer. Let me know
if you want details.
