These files either add additional functionality or to fix bugs in already 
released versions of SE.  When start_orcallator runs, it runs SE as

# Now start the logging.
echo "Starting logging"
nohup $SE $SE_PATCHES -DWATCH_OS $WATCH_WEB -I$libdir/SE/$SE_VERSION \
   $libdir/orcallator.se &

Notice the -I here, which points to this directory after it is installed.

The live_rules fixes a bug where the total CPU percentage can be greater than 
100%.  The other two are for additional data measurements used by orcallator.se.
