+Apparently we've neglected the out of tree builds even more than\r
+usual. I originally thought this is what was causing the test failures\r
+on buildbot. I'm less sure now, but I think these fixes don't hurt\r
+anything, and they do unbreak out of tree builds for me.\r
+\r
+There is certainly still work to be done with our out of tree builds.\r
+For those of you just joining the party, that doesn't mean we want to\r
+switch to your favourite build system. Or even to Autotools.\r
+\r
+An earlier draft of this series (discussed on IRC) defined a builddir\r
+variable, but eventually I realized the current directory of make is\r
+always builddir. So at least for now that doesn't seem to be needed.\r
