9.3 Architecture-independent data files
=======================================

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 ...
