Patch nss_ldap ebuild to install libs in /lib instead of /usr/lib

Version 204 of nss_ldap is currently released. Unless there is a good reason
not to use it, a simple ebuild rename is all it takes to use it... (preferably
using this patch to the ebuild first).

I looked through the ChangeLog to see who the maintainer is.  Apparently, 
I have the most entries in there, though I don't maintain this package.  Note to self: find maintainer!  Gareth, do you know about all things nss or all things ldap?

I'm not sure that I could claim to know all things NSS or all things LDAP, but
I appear to be one of the few people that actually use this package. I'd be
happy to maintain it if necessary.

Gareth, it looks like the package itself prefers to install into /usr/lib

------- Comment #5 From Heinrich Wendel (RETIRED) 2003-06-12 07:53:12 0000 ------- 
Maybe it prefers to, but all libnss libraries are installed in /lib and linked
to /usr/lib and it's the same 
in debian. So libnss_ldap should do the same ;D

nss_ldap-209 has been added to portage which acts the same as 207-r1 and
installs the files properly to /lib... 
Please test this new build and let me know if you find any further problems.

------- Comment #7 From Nick Hadaway 2003-10-17 21:58:03 0000 ------- 
nss_ldap-211 is now in portage as well.  Closing this bug as this problem
has long been fixed.
