Re: configure/make/make install with moving srcdir, builddir...

OK.  I've figured out a relatively efficient way to handle *most* of the
cases of 'configure', 'make', and 'make install' being done in different
paths.

There's one case this *can't* handle.  The specification of
${srcdir} must not change from configure time to make time to
'make install' time.  In other words, you can't pass a totally different
srcdir on the 'make' command line and expect it to work.

Is this acceptable, or should I try to get this case?
I think that's fine.  And if we can really simplify our makefiles that's
worth more than being able to change the $srcdir around.  We can always
add that later if someone really, really needs it.
