Luckily we require GNU make, so this works.  It would be nice, however,
if src/Makefile.am and tests/Makefile.am shared the same formulas; right
now, tests/Makefile.am uses the more portable (but slower):

AM_CFLAGS = ...
        -Dabs_builddir="\"`pwd`\"" \
        -Dabs_srcdir="\"`cd '$(srcdir)'; pwd`\"" \
