shared-mime-info is buildable from a directory separate from the source directory but currently, autogen.sh must be run from the source directory. JHBuild now supports building modules in separate build directories but it needs to run autogen.sh from the build directory. The patch I will attach adds this support to shared-mime-info's autogen.sh.
