Adding xxmodule.c to the test directory is more than I want to do for 2.6.5.
The actual crash happens because if sysconfig.get_config_var('srcdir') returns
None, os.path.join() will traceback. It doesn't know how to handle None
arguments. So my suggestion is that when srcdir is None, fallback to using
sysconfig.project_base as before.
As long as that is guaranteed to be a string, we won't get the crash.
_get_source_filename() will return some bogus but syntactically valid path, and
then the os.path.exists() test in test_suite() will return False, so the test
will be skipped. That seems like the safest change for 2.6.5 final, though I
am fine with backporting the trunk fix for realzies in 2.6.6.
