    Could you propose specific text to add to UPDATING, and I'll drop it in?
    Perhaps something along the lines of the following:

             Some previous versions of PAM have permitted the use of
             non-absolute paths in /etc/pam.conf or /etc/pam.d/* when referring
             to third party PAM modules in /usr/local/lib. A change has been
             made to require the use of absolute paths in order to avoid
             ambiguity and dependence on library path configuration, which may
             affect existing configurations.
