Hi Guys

Latest Shadow again has broken autoconfigury:

checking for is_selinux_enabled in -lselinux... no
configure: error: libselinux not found

Adding `--without-selinux' works around the issue... but..

There's also a new summary presented at the end of configure which indicates
more problems:

shadow will be compiled with the followig feactures:

        auditing support:               yes
        CrackLib support:               no
        PAM support:                    yes
        SELinux support:                no
        shadow group support:           yes
        S/Key support:                  no

Clearly, auditing and PAM are not meant to be built in a base Ref' Build.
The bogus summary is harmless but I'm going to add some variable overrides
to solve all of the above issues like this:

./configure \
	--libdir=/usr/lib \
	--enable-shared \
	with_audit=no \
	with_libpam=no \
	with_selinux=no

Apart from the above, the latest Shadow appears to work satisfactorily.

Regards
Greg
