I think we must have misread the code and decided it was no longer needed. I seem to remember just such a conversation. Looking in src/support/Makefile.am, I see that ABS_BUILDDIR is defined. I also see (in path_defines.C.in) that function build_lyxdir() will return the correct value. What has been removed is any code that actually uses it :-( -- Angus
