Comment (by dnthayer):

 When doing a "broctl install", broctl copies all files from each
 directory listed in "sitepolicypath" to the directory specified
 in "policydirsiteinstall", but bro does not automatically load
 any files in either location (the word "path" in "sitepolicypath"
 is very confusing; I would prefer the name "sitepolicydirs").

 The "sitepolicystandalone" option is defined in the broctl source code
 but is never used anywhere (you can change the value of that option,
 but it has no effect because broctl has the default value "local"
 hardcoded where it is actually used).
