I put that in, along with some more changes to configure.in: I moved the
new defines around a bit, fixed the include path for APRVARS and did
away with the shell escapes.

Oh, and the library order was reversed in
libsvn_subre/tests/Makefile.am, causing the link to fail.

Everything except Neon (and therefore svn_ra_dav) now compiles with
builddir != srcdir, and make check also works.

(But note that it doesn't pass, the last libsvn_fs test fails. Have to
look into that.)
