yes
the problem there is i moved the includes back into the package directory
because it seems this is the way to go with autoconf/automake :-(
i think the reason to do so was that there were problems with dependency
tracking
if the files are in another directory
=> now I am used to do it like this
you specify which files should get installed in the Makefile.am

but I am quite sure you don't want to have it like this ?
(=> i will have to try again to get the includes into another directory)
