#175 0.75+ [feature] modules to sharing code

[Andrew G. Morgan]

A number of folk have complained that it is hard to
maintain and hard to write modules simply because they
share a lot of common code.

Examples of this are things like verifying password
hashes, using thread safe libc functions like
getpwnam_r and getpwuid_r which are not always
available but should reasonably be used where they are
available.

I'm proposing to add (in 0.76) a new static library
that is in the modules subdirectory. All modules built
below the modules directory can use functions in this
directory.

I am explicitly _not_ adding this library to the
installed PAM code. I'd much appreciate it if packagers
assume the same.

Cheers

Andrew
