> I'm no elisp master, but here's what I see is happening:

> * Developer defines something like lisp_LISP = foo.el bar.el baz.el
> * baz.el (say) depends on quux.el, in the same directory but not
> listed in the primary.

> * At `make' time, everything in lisp_LISP is copied to a subdirectory
> and batch-byte-compile is called on all those files.

> * Because quux.el wasn't copied over, the compile fails.

Thanks for reviewing Makefile.am setup. 
  The reason 'quux.el' (in above example) is not listed, is
that it should not be byte-compiled by some reason. It is
intentionally excluded from the to-be-compiled list. I didn't
get that point. Thanks a lot.  I will either adjust Makefile.am
or pursue not using automake, or insist to depend automake.

With your advice for VPATH issue, I am now using attached patch,
thanks a lot,
