More or less like you would in a normal makefile:

SLICE2CPP = slice2cpp
.ice.c++:
        $(SLICE2CPP) args munging $< to $@
SUFFIXES = .ice .c++

You want to list the .ice files in EXTRA_DIST, and depending on whether
you require your users to have slice2cpp, the generated c++ files either
in nodist_foo_SOURCES or foo_SOURCES.

Hope that helps.

Cheers,
Ralf
