Autoconf provides several useful variables; which automake then exposes.
 $(abs_builddir) and $(builddir) correspond to the folder where make is
running and where you want your output to go, while $(abs_srcdir) and
$(srcdir) correspond to the source folder.

How would you solve the problem if you were just using straight shell?
Once you have that solution in mind, then rewrite it into your
Makefile.am using the automatic variables mentioned above.
