The automake generated check target sets the srcdir environment variable
for each test program that gets run.  Rather than compile it in, I'd say
you modify sanei_config_test() to look for its value with getenv() and
prepend that to the config filename instead.

Note, you can further modify the test environment via TESTS_ENV.

Hope this helps,
