The point was a little different: that config.h now has to be findable with
respect to wherever you're running the test, which therefore has to be the
Test subdirectory of the build.  Up to now, you could use the Test
subdirectory of the source tree, if different --- or anywhere else if you
adapted the path to the files in the latter directory.

On balance, it may be an advantage doing it this way: if we implement a way
of saying what's not implemented and hence shouldn't be checked on certain
systems, that's certainly going to have to go through one of the config.*
files.  In fact, we might get away with sourcing config.cache, and testing
the cv variables.  I won't be looking at that before the release.
