It looks to me like Magnus' git tool has gotten the direction of the
change backwards --- $(top_srcdir) was the old coding, which was like
every other place that is symlinking something, and the new ../../ bit
is gratuitously unlike the rest.  I imagine the point is that the MSVC
scripts only know how to deal with the $(top_srcdir) form.
