--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
 In 2.0.0beta7 and the current development tree, after configuring in a
 separate directory and building (e.g. mkdir build; ../configure; make), it
 barfs on the perl plugin:

 if /bin/sh ../../../libtool --silent --tag=CC --mode=compile gcc

 \
         then mv -f ".deps/perl.Tpo" ".deps/perl.Plo"; else rm -f
 ".deps/perl.Tpo"; exit 1; fi

 make: *** [perl.lo] Error 1


 In case that was too much read, the jist of the problem is this:
 ../../../../libpurple/plugins/perl/perl.c:91:21: error: version.h: No such
 file or directory
 It looks like ../../ needs to be added to the include path, since that's
 where version.h gets built.
