* Check $(ROOT) filesystem for libcrypt instead of a hardcoded path to /usr.

* Add PAM patch contrib/notify-pam-dead.patch based on Debian bug [#68621], which will add PAM support for programs spawned by init on the console like sulogin. Based on patch by Topi Miettinen. This patch is not applied by default yet while we review its usefullness. It is only helpful for session handling, as sulogin do not use and will not use a PAM conv() function. The current sulogin is able to handle DES as well as MD5, SHA, and Blowfish encrypted passwords due using getpwnam(3).
* Move utmp/wtmp before the execvp() in spawn() to be sure to use the correct pid even on a controlling tty
* Remaining problem is that the pid of the second fork() for getting a controlling tty isn\'t that reported by spawn()
* Re-enable writting utmp/wtmp for boot scripts
* Extend sulogin to support additional encryption algorithms
* Re-enable maintenance message of sulogin
