Re: Error compiling sepgsql in PG9.1

The attached patch enables to abort configure script when we run it with '--with-selinux'
option, but libselinux is older than minimum requirement to SE-PostgreSQL.

As the documentation said, it needs libselinux-2.0.93 at least, because this or later
version support selabel_lookup(3) for database object classes; used to initial labeling.

The current configure script checks existence of libselinux, but no version checks.
(getpeercon_raw(3) has been a supported API for a long term.)
The selinux_sepgsql_context_path(3) is a good watermark of libselinux-2.0.93 instead.

Thanks,
