Have you looked at the automake manual? Type "info automake" in a shell
window or "info:automake" into the location box of the GNOME help browser.

For straight data files, you would use something like this in your
Makefile.am:
  somewheredir = $(datadir)/somewhere
  somewhere_DATA = file1 file2 ...
  EXTRA_DIST = file1 file2 ...

If the files are not straight data, you would use something a bit
different. You should read the automake manual or look for an automake
tutorial.

James.
