According to the documentation, AC_CONFIG_SRCDIR is simply a safety
check to verify we know actually the correct srcdir. Thus, something
more specific for libevdev would increase the usefulness of the check:
  AC_CONFIG_SRCDIR([libevdev/libevdev.c])

I will send a patch for that, anyway. Or do the docs miss some detail
here? (I'm on 2.69 as mentioned)
