Patch to solve NPTL issues.

This patch should resolve the NPTL issues. I have successfully used it, and run
dvd::rip on my NPTL-only system, it correctly detects all the installed
software. This is not my contribution, it was found by someone else, and posted
to another bug for a previous 0.97.* dvd::rip version, but was never brought
across to the .3 and now .4 versions.

NOTE: you _must_, i repeat, _must_, remove, or at least edit by hand, the
user's "$HOME/.dvdriprc" for which ever user runs dvd::rip. This file will have
been created with the previous version of dvd::rip, and will not reflect the
(very simple) change provided in the patch.

As to _why_ on earth you cannot simply change the setting by hand in the
dvd::rip preferences dialog, I have no clue. I know that, with a regular
install of dvd::rip, no dependancies are detected on an NPTL-only system.
Changing the settings in the preferences dialog of dvd::rip has no effect.
After patching dvd::rip, dependancies were _still_ not detected. After removing
the .dvdriprc file, they were. I think I may toss this patch, and a precise
description of the steps I went through to get from not-working to working
state, to the dvd::rip mailing list, and see if upstream has bugs we don't know
of, and a more sensible fix can be provided in later versions.

I will attach an ebuild for 0.97.4 which applies this patch...

Hope this helps people out.
