[PATCH] ConsoleKit pam module hardcoded path

Basically the path for the pam module is hardcoded to /lib/security
which isn't right. Attached is a patch that uses the value of slibdir
for /lib/. However, that means the default in configure.ac is wrong for
slibdir. The default then should just be /lib/. Because from a plain
./configure you get the following.

        prefix:                   /usr/local
        exec_prefix:              ${prefix}
        libdir:                   /usr/local/lib
        bindir:                   /usr/local/bin
        sbindir:                  /usr/local/sbin
        slibdir:                  ${exec_prefix}/lib
        sysconfdir:               /usr/local/etc
        localstatedir:            /usr/local/var
        datadir:                  /usr/local/share
        source code location:     .
        compiler:                 gcc
        cflags:                   -g -O2
        Base libs:                -pthread -ldbus-glib-1 -ldbus-1
-lgobject-2.0 -lgthread-2.0 -lrt -lglib-2.0
        Maintainer mode:          no

        dbus-1 system.d dir:      ${prefix}/etc/dbus-1/system.d
        Build backend:            linux
        Build PAM module:         no
        Build docs:               no

Which clearly shows that slibdir is defaulting to /usr/local/lib. So
attached is a second patch to change the defaults. I'm also experiencing
the same issues with this that Andreas Hanke was getting with hal-info
(I had some patched bits to autoconf that were making stuff work.. sorry
about before Andreas).

There's also an issue with it building static versions of the pam
module. However that I'm a bit confused about since it has -module
passed to it.
