srcdir is supposed to be the top-level directory of the project (or
subproject), not the top-level of the whole tree.
The rationale is that you can just grab whatever set of packages, put
them as sub-directories of your package, create a top-level configure
and Makefile and everything will just work.
If instead --srcdir were passed as the top-level directory, you'd have
to adjust every sub-package so as to ``know'' it's been packaged
differently.
