The design of ContextFinder is to be policy free.  The policy comes from
the OSGi delegation model + the Equinox buddy policy.  We should avoid
building such a policy into the ContextFinder.  It is inevitable that
there are scenarios where a built in policy would not work.  The policy
should be specified by the bundle (e.g. DynamicImport-Package,
Eclipse-BuddyPolicy etc.) and not kept in a global ContextFinder TCCL.
