I could use .., but that's not robust if I change where the libraries are stored relative to the .am I want to include. I was planning to do:
include $(SPECIAL_ENVIRONMENT_VAR)/automake/install_targets.am etc. for the different repeated parts. The environment variable could point anywhere on the filesystem. For now I've setup each projects bootstrap to make a symlink'd install_targets.am to that one, but that feels extremely hackish.

Hmm, the idea of having such a is not bad, but I don't think it should need to go via esyscmd. Maybe Automake should provide something similar. Cheers, Ralf
