Why not reading the file at runtime? It's as simple as this:
Makefile.am:
pkgdata_DATA = COPYING
*.c:
license = read_file (PKGDATADIR "/COPYING", &length);
if (license == NULL)
license = "GPL";
This would be ok if the display system expects the '\n' characters.
But some systems expect a string and perform their own line wrapping.
In this case it would look messy.
