Patch to config/acx_libpq.m4

I found it quite annoying today that slony doesn't build properly with

./configure --prefix=/dba/special/dir <--some-other-foo-magic>
make
make install DESTDIR=/tmp/test/dir

when building against a 'virtual' postgresql installation done with
DESTDIR as well. This leads to a totally broken install directory
layout, ending up with files scattered in different directories. The
attached diff shows the most important changes i've done against
config/acx_libpq.m4 to get that running, mostly because it doesn't
allow overriding pgpkglibdir with an non-existing directory.

There are some minor issues open, but i would like to hear opinions
before continuing to prepare a general patch to make that work. It
would be useful, since building PostgreSQL works quite well that way
and i think it's a common task to build RPMs as well.
