Actually the traditional VPATH mechanism does not distinguish types of 
files at all.  C source files can be vpath-searched quite fine.

The obvious canonical examples would have to be lex and yacc.  They 
generate .c and .h files into the blddir, and automake has built-in 
mechanisms to include the generated sources into the tarball.
