Missing pam for cyrus sasl

[Christopher Hunt]

Just thought that I'd follow-up on this. The reason that I pam wasn't  
being built in was because it couldn't be found during build.  
Apparently the build for saslauthd looks for /usr/include/security.  
The following line overcomes the problem I was having:

	ln -s /usr/include/pam /usr/include/security

Regular ./configure and make then works.

Thanks to jklotz on the cyrus sasl list for pointing this one out.

Cheers,
-C
