Hi Brian,

[ copying bug-automake on this, it's better suited there; please remove
autoconf at gnu.org from followups; thank you ]

Does it work if you remove all the double quotes from the source lists?

This is an Automake issue.  It's probably unsupported to have files
quoted; I'm not sure though, whether it should be supported or the
documentation updated to let you know about this.

Cheers,
