but many projects do something like:

AM_CPPFLAGS = -Ithis -I$(srcdir)/this \
        -I$(top_builddir)/includes -I$(top_srcdir)/includes

Would you be pleased if they followed your lead and did something
like the following?

AM_CPPFLAGS = address@hidden@ \
        -I$(top_builddir)/address@hidden@

I do not think this is worth it.
After all, there is nothing wrong with `-I. -I.' in non-VPATH builds.
