I just changed doc/images/Makefile.am to this:


imagedir = $(datadir)/${PACKAGE}/manual/images
dist_image_DATA = ./*

You can use this as a template. I am not using EXTRA_DIST. I don't know
how to control the installation location with EXTRA_DIST. I just create
a variable like image. Add dir to the end of the name. You get imagedir.
To tell autotools what files need to be installed add dist_ before and
_DATA after the variable name. The argument that can be given to this
can be like *.png or *.denemo or something. I recently changed it
to ./*.

I can modify the others like this if you like but I don't think I can
touch it until later tonight.
