Yeah, it would be nice if automake had some sort of mechanism to allow
more natural names in files included from subdirs...
What that mechanism would be, though, I have no idea.
Typically when I've done this, I've used the variable idea mentioned
by Eric to at least make it less annoying, but it's still ugly and
kind of a pain...
[e.g.
s = my/dir
blah_OINK = ${s}/file1.cc ${s}/file2.cc ...
]
