Does Automake offer a better way? I seem to recall that I tried
doing something like
pspp_SOURCES = a.c b.c c.c ... subdir/x.c subdir/y.c
and it choked on it. Really that'd be easier than dealing with a
bunch of libraries, though, if it worked.

I don't think that's the scheme we use now. We don't, for
example, have lib/linreg or src/expressions in the search path.
Instead we have lib and src in the search path, and to include
e.g. expressions/public.h we write
#include "expressions/public.h"
I wouldn't expect to add to the search path as we add
directories; instead, to add directory names to the #include
directives.
Actually, it sounds like we're in agreement on that.
