[PATCH proxymngr] More LBX proxy avoidance.

I don't think I've ever used proxymngr or known anyone who has, but some distros
still ship lbxproxy, so I'd slightly prefer leaving support for those that do.

What if you leave Makefile.am doing the substitution (i.e. revert that file to
what's currently there), but change configure.ac to:

AC_PATH_PROG(LBXPROXY, lbxproxy)
if [[ -z $LBXPROXY ]] ; then
   LBXPROXY="${bindir}/lbxproxy"
fi

and go ahead with commenting it out in pmconfig.cpp.   Since LBX was dropped in
Xserver 1.2, lbxproxy is only useful for talking to older X servers than that,
so I don't mind having it commented out by default, but at least having the
right path still in the config file seems better than claiming the program name
is "LBXPROXY" which we know is wrong everywhere.
