Ah. The reason this works in VPATH mode is that setup of the build tree
duplicated all subdirectories of the source tree, so ./input/ should
exist iff $srcdir/input/ does. I agree it's a bit ugly though; it'd
be better to stat what we really plan to read.
Maybe push the stat operation inside convert_sourcefiles_in ?
