Bug 460162 - FedoraDS "with-FHS" installs init.d StartupScript in wrong location on non-RHEL/Fedora OS

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=460162
Resolves: bug 460162
Bug Description: FedoraDS "with-FHS" installs init.d StartupScript in wrong location on non-RHEL/Fedora OS
Reviewed by: nkinder (Thanks!)
Branch: HEAD
Fix Description: There is no LSB or FHS standard for the init script location,
and it varies widely across systems and even linux distros.  I've added
a --with-initddir (default $(sysconfig)/rc.d) so that the location can be
specified.  Note that this changes the initdir parameter to be an absolute
path, instead of relative to sysconfdir.  Some systems do not use /etc at all
for this (e.g. HPUX uses /init.d).
Platforms tested: RHEL5 x86_64
Flag Day: yes - autotool file change
Doc impact: no
