Another possibility that would be compatible with win32 is an elaboration of the
flag file idea. SA could glob for rulesdir/version/*/flag to find out which
directory currently contains the flag, and load the rules from there. (Note the
glob isn't atomic so it may see the flag both before and after a rename, in
which case SA should probably stat the directories and pick the newest.) When
sa-update runs it can pick an unused directory name in rulesdir/version for the
new rules, and when they have been verified it can atomically rename the flag
file from its current location into the new directory. Then wait a short time in
case SA is loading old rules, and finally delete the old rules directory.
