It was that I meant, I am not an approved packager. Sorry.

If you think people don't have to run them, I think it is good.

I don't talk about Examples, but about /usr/share/towhee/Forcefields.

(16:21:58)-[man...@teatime ~]$ ls /usr/share/towhee/ForceFields
Makefile.am          Makefile.in  ...

I mix the two files it's right sorry. You don't remove nothing from this file.
Anyway, Makefile.am and Makefile.in are installed but useless without the
configure script.

That's surprising ... defined but useless macros. But of course, it is not
mandatory. (And I read a new time the packaging guidelines, nothing are
mentionned about this (except for directory). It is not in this document I read
it is better to use macros. So like you want :)
