Sorry, we can't fix that. Except you could use a path relative to your
project, not the source dir. The prolem here is "guessing", the AM now
uses builddir+(projectdir-sourcedir)+relativepath. (the difference means
the relative path between project dir and sourcedir, i.e "quanta" in
your case). Before it was builddir+relativepath and that could break
too.

Good.

Thats not fixable by us, I think. I didn't look at the code, but this
should be using the order that is set via the Makefile.am dependecies.

Hmm, should be fixed later today, I'm working on it right now.

Same thing with 2 and 3.

Yes, all the same problem.
