Wow, thank you for all your work on this! This is really way above and
beyond the call of duty. I'm delighted to hear that the new Automake
resolves this problem; I am awaiting it eagerly! I'll update the
README.automake file to note this.
Yes, the test suite didn't work with VPATH builds; I should have mentioned
something about that. That was just something I hadn't had a chance to
figure out the best way to do. Thank you very much for your patches; I'm
reviewing them right now for the upcoming 2.1 release.
