Can you remind me of the difference between srcdir and top_srcdir?

I'm not sure how I feel about adding autotools to spec, unless I can see it in
action. 

If we decide to go down the telepathy-core repo path, I will probably just
merge this into that repo, so there's no point in merging it to telepathy-spec
master.

If we don't decide to have a telepathy-core repo, I'm slightly scared of
driving autotools from CMake. Do you have an example of tp-glib or tp-qt4 using
it as a submodule, or should I just try it out myself and come running to you
with the pieces if/when I break it?
