[DVDnav-discuss] [PATCH] Packaging failure

Some package tools run configure as fakeroot.  This triggers code in 
configure.ac that detects uid 0 to hardcode the installation path of the 
m4 macros to the system aclocal macro dir.  This ignores any DESTDIR the 
packaging tools may have set and installation fails since it attempts to 
write to a system dir without proper permissions.  These patches 
maintain the current behaviour if uid==0 && DESTDIR is empty.  
Otherwise, DESTDIR and the regular datadir path are used.
