This is what I meant by a 'shadow build directory'. This is easy to do
with autoconf. The makefiles that get generated can have a 'srcdir' and
'top_srcdir' macro that would point to the real source tree the makefile
usually resides in (for use in VPATH directives). top_srcdir is the top of
the openssl source tree (to use for getting things like include/openssl
-bp
