Automake supports the installation of miscellaneous data files using the
DATA family of variables.
Such data can be installed in the directories datadir,
sysconfdir, sharedstatedir, localstatedir, or
pkgdatadir.
By default, data files are not included in a distribution. Of
course, you can use the dist_ prefix to change this on a
per-variable basis.
Here is how Automake declares its auxiliary data files:
dist_pkgdata_DATA = clean-kr.am clean.am ...
