CVS autoconf, config.{sub,guess}, and "make install"

The current CVS autoconf does not "make install" properly if builddir !=
srcdir.

The following fragment is from man/Makefile:

 ...
 # Independent from this package.
 config.guess.1: $(srcdir)/config.guess.x  $(top_srcdir)/config.guess
 config.sub.1:   $(srcdir)/config.sub.x    $(top_srcdir)/config.sub

 .x.1:
        @if test -f $(top_builddir)/$*; then \

If the package is being built outside of the source tree, the .x.1 rule
looks for the programs in top_builddir, but the dependency lines look
for the programs in srcdir.
