Looks useful. Is this specifically for SELinux or also useful for  
other Unices? IOW, are security contexts a standardized thing, e.g.  
POSIX or something?

My point is that maybe it's better to actually call this  
GetConnectionSELinuxSecurityContext() much like we call it  
GetConnectionUnixUser() and GetConnectionUnixProcessId() cause Win32  
is different here (and UnixUser and UnixProcessId is covered by e.g.  
POSIX).

How about a test-case for this a'la check_get_connection_unix_user()  
and friends in bus/dispatch.c?
