 # For projects using AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR([foo]), Autoconf sets

-# Of course, Automake must honor this variable whenever it call a tool
-# from the auxiliary directory.  The problem is that $srcdir (hence
-# $ac_aux_dir) can be either an absolute path or a path relative to

-# fine, but in subdirectories relative pat needs to be adapted.

-#   relative, but fail if $srcdir is absolute
