PATCH: PAM xtests fail if build directory is not source directory

[Bernard Leak]

Dear List,
                xtests/Makefile.am makes a rather half-hearted attempt to
handle the case of building outside the source tree (well, it uses
$(srcdir) to get at the test runner script, anyway).

Unfortunately, the script then fails to find the files to be installed,
since it is itself invoked from inside $(top_builddir)/xtests, and they
are all in $(top_srcdir)/xtests.

This can be worked around in many ways.  I use a simple-minded
approach (no additional configuration-time wizardry, and no attempt
to make the script find its own location).  I merely shove the necessary
$(srcdir) location as a command-line argument.

I attach a patch against the current CVS sources.  No relevant
changes have occurred since the Linux-PAM-0.99.7.1 release.
The patch uses UN*X-style (LF) line-breaks.

A bzipped version of the patch should be available, for the
foreseeable future, here:
