Well, first you say there may be no good way, then you can tell of only
one way, but finally you list two ways. ;-)

You are right in that the two ways should work. I may be missing the
reason for which you may not like them?
FWIW, you don't have to mangle includedir or pkgincludedir; you can
instead create derived names:
fooincludedir = $(includedir)/drizzle
fooinclude_HEADERS = ...
barincludedir = ...
barinclude_HEADERS = ...
and of course each of them can be used together with nodist_, nobase_
prefixes. And you can define the derived dir names either
per-Makefile.am or globally as AC_SUBSTs in configure.ac.
Since your installed directory structure matches your source tree one,
using nobase_(pkg)?include_HEADERS from the top level seems like a good
idea.
Hope that helps.
Cheers,
Ralf
