[BRLTTY] problem with brltty and polkit

[Kelly Prescott]

I do have polkit.h, but it lives in /usr/include/polkit-1/polkit on my 
system.
Here is what config.log says on my system:
This are the lines concerning polkit:
configure:7095: polkit package: polkit-gobject-1
configure:7099: polkit includes: -I/usr/include/polkit-1 
-I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include
configure:7103: polkit libs: -lpolkit-gobject-1 -lgio-2.0 -lgobject-2.0 
-lglib-2.0
