automake doesn't support VPATH-based set-ups. In fact, it doesn't
recommend it precisely because it's not portable and, when you start
using it, you get into all kind of oddities like this.
In an correct automake-based setup, each directory containing headers
would have its own Makefile.am with rules to install the headers in
it.
