Gah, what a mess!

- tests/testsuite defines $srcdir if $at_top_srcdir is defined
  (and quite a few other variables typically found in a Makefile),
- $at_top_srcdir is set in $top_builddir/tests/atconfig
- `make -e' in LT_AT_MAKE overrides the Makefile macro $(srcdir)
  to quite the wrong value.

- side issue: some of the settings in atconfig seem quite wrong..

You could try the workaround below to prove that my assumptions are
correct.  I still need to think about how to properly fix this
portably.  :-/

Thank you for your bug report, later on it would probably have been
harder to find the bug.

Cheers,
Ralf
