minor problem in scard/Makefile when srcdir != objdir

Greetings,

There is a minor glitch when --src is not the same as the build tree
location (sometimes needed if you are going to be root for the install
and the sources are on an NFS disk somewhere that does not trust root
on the machine doing the install).

  % uname -a
  FreeBSD mdb-bsd.juniper.net 4.2-STABLE FreeBSD 4.2-STABLE #0: Wed Jan 17 12:03:49 PST 2001     root at mdb-bsd.juniper.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  i386
  % make -f Makefile.in distprep
  % cd /some/local/disk
  % mkdir openssh-build
  % /path/to/openssh/configure --src=/path/to/openssh
  % make
  % sudo make install
  ...elided...
  (cd scard; make DESTDIR= install)
  uudecode Ssh.bin.uu
  uudecode: Ssh.bin.uu: No such file or directory
  *** Error code 1
  
  Stop in /some/local/disk/openssh-build/scard.
  *** Error code 1

The following patch works around the problem by assuming that Ssh.bin
must be found in the source distribution.

	Enjoy!
