This means that we won't be able to run  "./src/libvirtd" directly from
the build dir - we'll *always* have to use  "./run ./src/libvirtd" to
get the env var set IIUC.

Instead of checking the binary name, can we check for existance of a
known valid build file in the directory we're running the binary from.
eg look for "Makefile" or "ninja.build" or something like that.

Daniel
