The patch below contains some more analogous fixes.
It also contains a patch to lib/Makefile.am which will add the lib/Xlt
and lib/Xbae subdirectories into a lesstif tarball generated by make
dist, regardless which configuration options have been used to configure
lesstif before a "make dist" - I am not sure if this is desired, but I
think it should be done.
BTW: Setting AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR(.) in subdirectory configure.ins isn't
really necessary. This only forces automake -a to put automake -a add
files into this directories. If the AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR(.) lines were
removed, automake would use the toplevel automake -a added files
instead. However these AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR(.) lines also don't desturb, so
it doesn't really matter.
