What exactly benefits do we get with such GRANT?

- This GRANT is useless if SUPER_USER1 does not get a chance to put his
DLL on the file system after convincing sysdba about the safety of the
code.

- This GRANT gives a false feeling about safety if we store DLLs in
BLOBs - correctly written trojan or virus won't leave traces in the
system, so sysdba and not SUPER_USER1 will be the main suspect in case
of attack. Considering that these guys are quite paranoid, the won't
allow using such feature at all.

So, I see little use of this GRANT at the moment. Also, if in the future
we find out that people do need it, this change would not require
re-coding the external procedures from the scratch. At most a minor ODS
change will be needed.
