[STR New]

Right now cups forces the serverbin directory depending if it's building on
BSD/MacOSX or anywhere else. In the latter case, it uses
$exec_prefix/lib/cups, no matter what the libdir is actually set to.

This is a problem when building on multilib systems, and it's also a
forcing that someone might want to overcome (for instance Gentoo/FreeBSD
installs as Linux).

The attached patch makes it respect a --with-serverbindir parameter passed
at configure. It also changes the selection of the default path to $host
rather than $uname, as uname might be different by the target's while
crosscompiling (I know it's just one place out of a lot, but IMHO always
better to fix things when they are fixable).

It also remove the INSTALL_SYSV declaration as it's never used in the
whole sources.

HTH,
Diego
