Yes I did test it.  It worked fine under Linux.  However I did not get any
chance to test it under anything else.   Before running ou the door.

I never needed --src-dir to compile in a different location.  But if that
is needed then we should set the right -I via that if we can.  Because we
have other issues that are more hidden (pty.h and openpty() call).

Tim,

The choice is either we ignore AIX or we stop the default behavior of
building out of the tree.  Where the latter is anonying the form is
unacceptable.
