I suspect this will be ignored if we're using srcdir != builddir (not
that this works at the moment).  The documentation is confusing about
how exactly the file is found mentioning only the "project" directory
whatever that means.

  https://flake8.pycqa.org/en/latest/user/configuration.html

Should we add the equivalent command line parameters instead?

Anyway, as it's only optional configuration, ACK.

Rich.
