In correct use of autotools and their flexibility. In fact, many
projects build everything outside of source directory.
Anything you need to is to create some "stage" directory and
run configure from it.
In order to make this process more "transparent" write in README
these instructions and/or add following lines at the beginnig
of "configure.in"
if test -d core ; then
echo "----------------------------------------------------"
echo
echo " Please, do not run configure from src directory"
echo " do as following"
echo
echo " cd .."
echo " mkdir stage"
echo " cd stage"
echo " ../src/configure"
echo " make"
echo
echo "----------------------------------------------------"
exit 1
fi

P.S.: I know you do not like autotools, but it is still the
only FULL-Featured build and distribution system available.
P.P.S: IMHO, I would just rename "core" to something else, in order
to allow newcomers easier automatic builds.
P.P.P.S.: I hope to find some time and work on this autoconf macros,
there are many things that should be fixed.
