release 0.7.3 of nss-pam-ldapd

[Arthur de Jong <arthur [at] arthurdejong.org>]

Release 0.7.3 has just been made available which fixes some bugs and
includes some new functionality. This should be a reasonably stable and
well tested release.

A summary of the changes since 0.7.2:
* allow password modification by root using the rootpwmoddn
  configuration file option (the user will be prompted for the password
  for rootpwmoddn instead of the user's password)
* the LDAP password modify EXOP is first tried without the old password
  and if that fails retried with the old password
* when determining the domain name (used for some value of the base and
  uri options) also try to use the hostname aliases to build the domain
  name (patch by Jan Schampera)
* perform locking on the pidfile on start-up to ensure that only one
  nslcd process is running and implement a --check option (patch by Jan
  Schampera)
* documentation improvements
