Oh I didn't intend to change the log path for distro packages.
Actually when we do "make rpm", the log path will be /var/log/lxc
since $localstatedir is set to /var.
What I want to change with the patch is a behavior when we run
configure without any arguments, which is a procedure that I try
to use latest lxc in git for test.

I got surprised that log files are stored under /var/log because
lxc setting files are stored under /usr/local/var/lib (and all other
stuffs are also stored under /usr/local).
One problem that we use a common log path (/var/log) is that
log files for packaged binaries and self-built binaries are mixed.
I want to separate them each other.
Best regards,
