Thanks for the suggestion! That doesn't work, because when configure is
run, it reads CONFIG_SITE, loads my config file that checks `$prefix =
NONE` (it is!), which thus overrides it.
Adding `--prefix=`cd ../.. && pwd` to `CONFIG_IN_PLACE_ARGS` works for
setting `prefix`, but of course configure will then fail to set
`inplacebuild`, because to do so it tests `${prefix} = "NONE"`. Is there
some reason configure can't test `enable_origtree`? Is there some time the
build system is supposed to build in-tree even without --enable-origtree?
If so, could it test `"${prefix}" = "NONE" -o "${enable_origtree}" = "yes"`?
