AC_CONFIG_SRCDIR question/confusion

[cs]

I saw an example in Autoconf book I believe where simple configure.ac
was something like this...

AC_INIT(helloworld, 1.0)
AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR(config)
AC_CONFIG_SRCDIR(src/helloworld.c)
AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE
AC_PROG_CC
AC_OUTPUT(Makefile)

I don't understand the AC_CONFIG_SRCDIR macro.  I assume
AC_CONFIG_SRCDIR tells Autoconf
which source file has main().  However, the *name* AC_CONFIG_SRCDIR
makes no sense then because it implies it wants to just set up
the *directory*.
