sorry to get back to this, but it's actually a bit more annoying than
just breaking tinderbox at the time. Out of the 56 X drivers I'm
currently maintaining, that's the only one no longer searching in '.',
and I don't know why that should be.

Also, “autoreconf -vfi” puts files there, but those aren't cleaned,
even through targets like distclean or maintainer-clean. Having to
clean things through “git clean -xdf” sounds like a no-no to me. (Of
course, our build system is flexible enough that I can do anything,
like rm -rf'ing that directory, but I'd rather not have to come to
this kind of things…)

Can we get that part of this commit reverted please, at least for
consistency with other drivers? Or is it actually serving a real,
undocumented purpose?

KiBi.
