also I wonder:
what about builddir vs. sourcedir? how do you handle that?
if people have a tar.gz with pre-build documentation, it
is in sourcedir. if people checkout svn and build in a seperate
build root, the documentation is created in builddir.
does automake handle that automaticaly?
IMHO it seems confusing and error prone to treat those two cases
separately. To me, a file is either located in srcdir or builddir,
independent on whether I build from an svn checkout or from a tarball.
For instance, the `Makefile.in' is always located in srcdir, also when
it is created (built) in an svn checkout. You said before that you
wanted to treat documentation as `Makefile.in' and then I would have the
docs in srcdir.
Thanks,
Peter
