[Nix-dev] PAM for non-suid progs

Hi!

Currently unix_chkpwd is non-suid, hence PAM is usable for suid progs only. 
I propose to make it suid (as it is done in many distros).

PAM calls it from $pam, so we'll need to create a symlink 
$pam/sbin/unix_chkpwd -> /var/setuid-wrappers/unix_chkpwd. This change will 
trigger a rather large rebuild.

If nobody objects, I'll commit it tomorrow.
