Configure scripts are always executed from the top build directory so
most of these directory variables are not needed in tests. If required,
it is easy enough to compute absolute directories in the shell:
case $srcdir in
/*) my_abs_top_srcdir=$srcdir ;;
*) my_abs_top_srcdir=`pwd`/$srcdir ;;
esac
GraphicsMagick does this to get a full path to the top of the source
tree:
srcdirfull="`cd $srcdir && pwd`"
