mount.nfs* umount.nfs* and nfsdcltrack are currently always installed in /sbin. Many distros are moving to a "merged /usr" where /sbin and others are symlinks into /usr/sbin or similar. In these cases it is inelegant to install in /sbin (i.e. install through a symlink). So we add "--disable-sbin-override" as a configure option. This causes the same sbindir to be used for *mount.nfs* and nfsdcltrack as for other system binaries. Note that autotools notices if we simply define "sbindir=/sbin" inside an "if CONFIG_foo" clause, gives a warning, and defeats our intent. So instead, we use the @CONFIG_SBIN_OVERRIDE_TRUE@ prefix to find the new declaration when we don't want it.
