Could you give a specific example? The more outlandish and/or complex
configure.in's I have, the better I can test my patches.

I've used it to configure emacs without problems for a few versions now,
so there's no need for me not to try out my patched autoconf on it :-)
In fact, if I hadn't, I wouldn't have run into the srcdir issue, as I
usually use relative paths as --srcdir.
