Hi, Gayle.

forms.h is generated from AAA.h and the files listed in the 
noinst_HEADERS target of Makefile.am (all in the lib/include 
directory.)  The code doing this work is found in the stamp-forms 
target of Makefile.am.

AAA.h is generated at configure-time from AAA.h.in. That is, autoconf 
relplaces the '@' delimited variables in AAA.h.in with the values 
specified in $top/configure.ac:

If you want to generate forms.h yourself, then a little shell script 
should do the job. Running the attached gen_forms_h.sh from the 
lib/include directory as
	sh gen_forms_h.sh
works for me...
