ah, stupid me.  i completely missed the "dir" variable in the loop logic in 
the main configure file.

how about in the main loop, having it do:
--- a/configure.in
+++ b/configure.in
@@ -2088,7 +2088,10 @@
   esac
   if test -r $dest/configure; then
     AC_MSG_RESULT(running configure fragment for $dir)
+    srcdir=$dir
+    builddir=$dir
     . $dest/configure
+    unset srcdir builddir
   fi
 done
 

this way the variables "dir" and "dest" don't become coded into the 
sysdep/configure "API"
