includes (for the include directory): include_HEADERS = ...
library: static lib_LIBRARIES = library.a or dynamic lib_LTLIBRARIES = library.la
sources (internal C data structures and C++ template classes): library_X_SOURCES = library.h ..., where X = a or la
- library.h is like a precompiled header (contains common headers and symbols), which is to be included in most of source files of the library (there is no need in real precompiled headers for small projects in C)

Configured headers (created from *.h.in) must not be included into the package, that is include_HEADERS or *_SOURCES

nodist_include_HEADERS = *.h for the configured headers as includes
nodist_*_SOURCES = *.h or BUILT_SOURCES = *.h for the configured headers as sources

To add extra files into package, use EXTRA_DIST = *.
