Okay, so this patch does change it in a way that it still works, but
what else do you need to be able to run the test from another directory?
I tried to run the test from another directory with this patch
installed, and found that it didn't work because it's replacing
@abs_builddir@ in the input files improperly (to the current path; it
should be using the output dir path, I think)

So maybe this is a step in the right direction, but ISTM you need a
slightly larger patch for it to be actually useful.

If I am not making sense, then maybe I am not understanding what you
mean by running it standalone. In that case, please explain.
