Subject line should start with “gnu: xlockmore:”, but otherwise LGTM!

Interestingly, I always thought PAM support was enabled and we even
populate /etc/pam.d with an entry for ‘xlock’ via the ‘screen-locker’
service.

Thanks,
Ludo’.

Although linux-pam was declared an input, xlockmore doesn't use it unless given
a configure option.

However, xlockmore has three configure options: --enable-pam, --enable-pam-good 
and --enable-pam-bad  but none of them seem to work properly.


So I'm going to refrain from pushing this patch until I can work out what is going
on.
