I think it wasn't intended that AC_LIBOBJ ever be called with something
other than a plain name (i.e., no directory components).  Not totally
sure here, though.

This is already fixed in CVS Automake.  It needs CVS Autoconf though.
And the LIBOBJDIR feature is somewhat, erm, controversial.  Oh well.
