So basically this means nobody except Gentoo people can build from sources
as installing stuff in /usr/ will break packaging systems. IMHO thats not
acceptable at all. PolicyKit _has_ to have a way of letting it load stuff
from other places, if it doesn't its simply broken and we shouldn't use it
at all.

Andreas, waiting some more with the next trunk-update until this mess is
sorted.
