The only comment I'd make is: can you restrict doing this to when srcdir
is absolute to start with? Which must mean the user has specified an
absolute path to configure's srcdir, which I would imagine to be rare.
On Unix systems, this would be trivial - just check if srcdir starts
with "/". I don't know what you need to do for MS.

Forcing srcdir to be absolute all the time will eg break using a srcdir
with spaces in.
