Will change to SECMODEL_START() and move to init_main.c -- I've been
planning on removing it from param.h anyway, it can be really annoying
to rebuild everything. I'll also add a secmodel/secmodel.h to include
from init_main.c, that in turn includes bsd44.h et al.

Yes, that's ugly. As you can see, I've made it all into enums, and I'll
be changing these soon to remove as many casting as possible. Working on
it. :)
