Re: automake and funny BUILT_SOURCES behavior

I'm assuming that by `object' you mean `.cc' files, not `.o' files.

I do not understand this.  Usually it's the converse.  Anyway, that's
not really important.  You can list what you want in `BUILT_SOURCES'.

The important point is that any file listed in `funny_SOURCES'
gets distributed.  Since you do not want to distribute built
sources, you should use the `nodist_funny_SOURCE' variable to
list any source file that must be compiled as part of `funny'
but souldn't be distributed.

BUILT_SOURCES = generated.hh  # Usually generated .c files do not need
                              # to be put in BUILT_SOURCES
funny_SOURCES = funny.cc
nodist_funny_SOURCES = generated.cc

`nodist_' is a new feature in Automake 1.5.   Now you have one
reason to upgrade :)
