Hi,

Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0], we noticed
that libinput could not be built reproducibly.

This is due to the LIBINPUT_QUIRKS_SRCDIR config.h variable including
the absolute build path to find the test-time input file.

Patch attached that uses a relative path instead. I'm not sure upstream
will like this patch, it is provided mostly as a demonstration
ofthe problem. However perhaps it could be modified to take an
environment variable instead? I will leave this with you.

Apparently this is no longer necessary, for I could not find any
references to that directory in the binary packages.  Building libinput
in two different directories produced identical packages here and on
[1], so I have taken the liberty to close the bug. :-)
