I've got a stab at get/set_lxc_path at
	git://github.com/hallyn/lxc #s.feb5.api-setpath3
(aka https://github.com/hallyn/lxc/tree/s.feb5.api-setpath.3)

It build and installs fine from git, and basic lxc-create etc seem
to be working.  I haven't yet packaged it to give it heavier testing.

It came out nicer than I'd expected.  We do need to pick a better
place to leave lxc.functions - I just wasn't sure what the best
FHS+autoconf place would be.  Other packages seem to use
/usr/share/$pkg, but there is no convenient autoconf variable (that
I could find) for that.  So I'm doing it by hand, though we could
also just use $pkglibexec (yuck, but...).
