Hmm, I think ACE should be a CREATE DATABASE parameter.
If I were to create a SE-database I would wish that disabling it was
more difficult than changing a GUC in database. And being able to
set it on per-database basis would help get SE/ACE enabled by
packagers.

sorta works, but after a while things just get out of hand.
