Michael, you're mixing up a much larger issue with a smaller one. Just
removing the cd from those make lines will fix the problem Havoc was seeing
without affecting the overall "srcdir strategy" at all.

I'll fix it.

We could later just change libbonoboui to do the marshal files just the way
libbonobo does. I think that one is closer to the way you'd like it.

Are you sure? A simple include works inside Makefile.am and we can set make
variables.
