What should I put into the Makefile.am? The simple idea of
"$(KEXI_INCLUDE)/kexidb" what reduces to "$(KDE_INCLUDES)/kexidb" is not
guaranteed to work, as the substvar KDE_INCLUDES is empty if
kde_includes (note the lower case) is equal to x_includes or qt_includes
or to "/usr/include". Can I rely on kde_includes to be a stable
interface that contains the path to the KDE headers even if they are in
a "standard" location, so that "-I$(kde_includes)/kexidb" will work?
If so, I will close the bug.
