Dear Andrew and dear all,
Many thanks for all your responses which I found all very useful and
full of teachings.

I was actually not aware that this variable was there but it seems it
gets replaced by the dirname of the .in file where it gets substituded,
whihc I find very odd actually. So if the software is in, say,
/home/me/src/software
and the template file is in subdirectory foo of the tree, then when I
run configure, what I see in the file produced from the template is
/home/me/src/software/foo which is not quite what I expect.
Cheers,
Sébastien.
