bug : sm-notify path is hardcoded into statd

bug : sm-notify path is hardcoded into statd

[Gabriel Barazer]

Hi,

Just found another which happens when nfs utilities are not installed in 
/usr/sbin (e.g. because it's installed in /sbin for a diskless setup), 
statd can't properly call sm-notify because the path to sm-notify is 
hardcoded at utils/statd/statd.c:226 (nfs-utils-1.1.0). To preserve 
consistency with configure switch, we must instead replace it with the 
sbindir variable. (I can't reliably do a patch because I don't know 
enough how to deal with the autotools).

Thanks,

Gabriel

FWIW, in Debian we simply change it to /sbin. A proper patch upstream would
probably be preferable, though -- smaller delta from upstream to
distributions is always good.
