One thing I noticed is that if the environment variable is not defined
the test programs just exits without output, I changed a couple of them
when doing the tests for <shareable/> in my tree to fprintf to stderr
the fact that the environment variable is missing, I will try to commit
this next week,
One other way would be to set the abs_top_srcdir at compile time by
passing in -Dabs_top_srcdir instead of setting an env var at runtime.
It is not like this stuff changes once you've run 'configure', so we
don't particularly need the flexibility of a runtime setting.
