If you apply the contrib/patches/lcdprocserverOPT.diff patch from the
LCDproc tarball before you build, you'll be able to set the shutdown
message in the config file, in the [server]goodbye setting.  This
means you won't have to recompile LCDproc every time you want to
change the shutdown message.

So before you build, in the lcdproc directory, type "cd server &&
patch -p1 < ../contrib/patches/lcdprocserverOPT.diff".
