    Thanks for the feedback, Lars.

    I got there too (just about ;-), having read the automake manual on
    movementarian.org/devtools.

    In order for things to work properly, I find that I had to change the forms.h
    target to ../forms.h. Otherwise "make dist" copies across lib/include/forms.h
    but not lib/forms.h and so make in the lib dir fails. Obviously, I could add
    appropriate -I targets to the INCLUDE directive or modify all the .c files to
    look for include/forms.h, but altering the target seems the cleanest
    solution.

    And it does away with the nasty "cp forms.h ../." hack.

    Many thanks for all your help.
