Hello All!

With the `xemacs-build-report' module I'm working on, I face the
following problem:

The user may have built XEmacs outside the srcdir using the --srcdir
option to configure.

How can I access the value of the building location, where
`Installation' and make-output files the user may create are located,
from within XEmacs?

I have checked the obvious functions and variables with
C-h a buil[dt]
C-h a -director
to no avail.

Any pointers are chickens for sacrifice would be thankfully accepted.

Adrian
