here is the src/Makefile.am which does the job.

.cc.o:
        $(MKOCTFILE) -c -o $@ $<

bin_PROGRAMS=foo

foo_SOURCES=foo.cc

foo_LINK=$(MKOCTFILE) -o $@

this is not fully satisfactory since it defines a generic rule for
compilation only.
i couldn't find any generic solution for the linking step in the
automake manual.
the definition of the linker is done here individually for each DLDs.

thanks,
eric.
