Summary:  Fixed incorrect behaviour of _IL_InfoMethods_GetUserName

Original Submission:  This patch fixes the username returned by 
_IL_InfoMethods_GetUserName (pnet/engine/lib_info.c). Currently the username 
returned is the string returned by the getlogin(3) function, but as this 
function returns "a pointer to a string containing the name of the user logged 
in on the controlling terminal of the process" and not the name associated with 
the effective uid.

This causes a sudo or su (or any other seteuid app) command to have our C# apps 
print the user who logged in to the terminal.

test.cs:
-----------------------
using System;
class Class
{
 public static void Main()
 {
  Console.WriteLine(Environment.UserName);
 }
}

expected output:
-----------------------
address@hidden dev]$ ilrun test.exe
ptah
address@hidden dev]$ sudo ilrun test.exe
Password:
root

output:
-----------------------
address@hidden dev]$ ilrun test.exe
ptah
address@hidden dev]$ sudo ilrun test.exe
Password:
ptah

I assume you can imagine all the confusion this behaviour can cause :-)

Anyways, here's a patch to engine/lib_info.c and configure.in to now fetch the 
euid.
