Do you mean SUBDIRS, DIST_SUBDIRS? Should include/ be in one of those?

Is this necessary? Is there a way to just say, "distribute everything in
include/ and its subdirectories"? This would be an easy thing to add to
the toplevel Makefile.am.

Would it be easier if all the header files were just in lib/, where the
libgsutils.a archive is built? The only problem is that src/lwc.c needs
those headers as well as the .c files in lib/, so I figure the .h files
need to be distributed. Any ideas?

I tried adding the dirs in include/ to AC_CONFIG_FILES in configure.ac,
then adding Makefile.am's everywhere in include/ that just have SUBDIRS
entries and or EXTRA_DIST entries, but 'make distcheck' still fails.
Arrrgh.

Thank you,
