Okay, I fixed this as well as all the special casing of '.' that the code is
littered with FIXME comments about.  I've included ChangeLog entries in the patch
as well as a new test case, but here's a bit more detail:

1)  In the @require_file_paths case (since it only subbed $relative_dir for '.',
all that was required was to pass in $relative_dir instead of '.' for the three
locations that mattered).  This is what actually fixed the depcomp bug since
@require_file_internal now only looks in $relative_dir when specifically &
literally requested.

2)  In the case of $config_aux_dir, I removed all the switches on '.' and '' and
replaced three with a switch on a new variable $config_aux_dir_set_in_configure_in
(yeah, I know that's a little long, but it sure is easy to interpret) which is set
when AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR is noticed initially since it seemed a little silly to
check _every_ use of $config_aux_dir for '.' and '' for only three places which
wanted to look in a local directory rather than use AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR's actual
value.

3)  Added a test case which confirms that depcomp is added correctly when two
subdirs contain C source.

4)  Based on the assumption that depcomp is a new feature which has never been out
of alpha, depcomp is now restricted to the same locations as the other build
scripts (install-sh, missing, & mkinstalldirs).  Allowing it to also be in any
directory containing a C source file would be trivial, but I didn't think it was
important.

5)  tweaked two test cases to look for $(top_srcdir)/depcomp rather than
csubdir/depcomp.

This is good stuff.  I'm pretty sure it should be checked in, but please,
questions, comments?

+       * depcomp.test: New File
+       * confsub.test: look for depcomp in $(top_srcdir) instead of the
+       first subdir containing a C file.
+       * libobj2.test: ditto
+       * auxdir.test: remove a hack that uses a path of ./. to fake a
+       subdir since it doesn't work anymore
+       * Makefile.am (TESTS): Added depcomp.test
