This might not be useful enough to implement.  I was working around Ubuntu's
"/var/run" problem, and tried to use /var/lib/munge as a socket dir.
Obviously if -S is used to start the daemon, it must also be used by the
clients / utilities.  This broke slurm-llnl, since it had no way of knowing
a non-standard socket was used.

It would be nice if munge, unmunge, and remunge could get the socket info
automatically.

Two possibilities:
1) They could read /etc/default/munge, and use "CLIENT_OPTIONS". e.g,
CLIENT_OPTIONS="-S /var/lib/munge/socket.munge --force "
2) They could look for an environment variable, for example, "MUNGE_OPTS".
MUNGE_OPTS="-S /var/lib/munge/socket.munge "; export MUNGE_OPTS

FWIW, the /var/run problem is claimed to be fixed in the next Ubuntu
release, so this workaround would not be needed.
