Not sure which bit you're having problems with. Something like
nonobase_sysconf_DATA = myproject/config
myproject/config:
@command to create config file ...
?

Well, at install files, sysconf_* files are installed to ${sysconfdir},
quoting standards.info:
`sysconfdir'
The directory for installing read-only data files that pertain to a
single machine-that is to say, files for configuring a host.
Mailer and network configuration files, `/etc/passwd', and so
forth belong here. All the files in this directory should be
ordinary ASCII text files. [...]
Hope that helps.
Cheers,
Ralf
