configure requires libvpd but ppc64-diag does not link to it #12

The configure script fails when libvpd is not installed but built binaries don't link to libvpd.

Isn't the libvpd dependency superfluous?

There is a syslog_to_svclog command shipped with ppc64-diag has dependency on libvpd. However I see that this command isn't supported on any powerpc platform and isn't been in use. If we drop this command then the libvpd dependency can be taken away. Need to audit the code thoroughly and see if we can drop this. But this is for some other day.
