I guess this is okay. I'm a little uneasy about config.status since it
doesn't fully expand its arguments.

That means we have to guess which things go up top (e.g.
datarootdir="@datarootdir@"). The sed from Makefile.am technique is
pretty widespread, but i'm not super tied to it.

We can do the config.status thing, but it may end up spontaneously
breaking down the road.  I'm not too worried about it, though.  If
things break we can just fix them.
