I was fairly sure previous the discussion indicated we would go with 
CheckLevel for the name of this.

Anyway, I think it would be good to get a complete list of options 
sorted before documenting and implementing...   Currently it seems 
incomplete.

Global options:
Required (or Always?), Optional, Never -  what about global controls for 
allowing marginal and unknown signatures.

Also, we need to determine exactly how the suboptions will work. Do the 
PackageFoo options override global options?  E.g. are these all 
equivalent (require database signatures but not package signatures)?

CheckLevel = Required PackageOptional
CheckLevel = Optional DatabaseRequired
CheckLevel = DatabaseRequired PackageOptional
