Solution: give up on --srcdir, and provide a function that automatically
creates a tree of symlinks in ${objdir} to the files in ${srcdir}. I
call this function stow(), after the stow(1) utility that does the same
thing. The patch is below. This method is slower, because you have to
wait while the script stows the source tree. But it always succeeds,
without relying on a working 'configure --srcdir'. And I provide some
visual feedback while you're waiting, so it doesn't seem so long.
hmm. most of us just build in the srcdir then.
or autoreconf --force if you like huge patches and most libtoolize anyway.
