If anything, I think you should be requesting that for projects that don't have
buildapi-variable-no-builddir, jhbuild uses the same sequence that I do when
compiling Autotools stuff locally:

* (in srcdir) NOCONFIGURE=1 ./autogen.sh
* (in builddir) $abs_top_srcdir/configure $options
* (in builddir or via make -C) make

That's the only thing that's guaranteed to work under Colin's proposed
"build-api".
