Allow users to override the /lib dir #45

Closed qmfrederik closed 7 months ago

The File Hierarchy Standard allows for an alternative format for essential shared libraries, using lib<qual> instead of lib.

Some Linux distributions, like Enterprise Linux, adopt this, and on 64-bit systems the shared libraries would go into lib64 instead of lib.

Currently the Fedora/EPEL packages manually patch the fhs and fhs-system files.

This commit updates the ./configure script so that the user can manually specify a lib folder, e.g. --with-libdir=lib64.
