While we certainly can push this minor change  (and I'll likely push this 
change upstream with my next changeset) - the usage should be based on srcdir 
settings - which I'm setting myself for a long time  - as there were always 
some problems if this was not set properly.

So I could try if this got eventually better over time  - but lvm2 is using 
somewhat hybrid approach - as we only use 'autoconf' but not 'automake'  
historically.
