krb5b4pl3: BUILDTOP set wrong in top-level Makefile

Problem: the configure script that creates the top-level Makefile sets
BUILDTOP to the empty string, which means that references to it
followed by slashes in the Makefile are wrong.  For example, we edit
config/pre.in at our site to make the installation directories
relative to $(BUILDTOP), e.g., setting KRB5ROOT to
"$(BUILDTOP)/../../install", which turns into "/../../install", which
is obviously wrong.

Perhaps this is a bug in configure.  I fixed it by just adding
"BUILDTOP=." to the top of the top-level Makefile.in.  I don't know if
there's a better fix.
