Trying to build latest from git.  This is not good...

checking sys/apparmor.h usability... no
checking sys/apparmor.h presence... no
checking for sys/apparmor.h... no
configure: error: You must install the AppArmor development package in
order to compile lxc

What am I suppose to do on Fedora where we don't have that package?  Is
it available in another repo somewhere?  I'm looking and not finding.
