I never had problems with letting header and source files be in the same subdir which has the name of the project itself. Instead it gets easier to build different-named subprojects together at the same time. W.r.t. to a "prodesk" I'd simply bind all *.h and *.c into a subdir prodesk/prodesk, there is just one SUBDIR=prodesk in the toplevel prodesk/ dir, and the subdir /prodesk makefile contains just "-I$(srcdir)/.."
btw, that way it's damn easy to have a "gdk/" and "gtk/" subdir side-by-side under the same toplevel makefile and get to the headers from each subproject - there's really no need to split them into different tarballs/rpms for distribution. But that may be a different story...
