Yes,  if I  define one  set of  makefile variables  for each
subdirectory it  works, and  I understand  that this  is the
model  Automake proposes;  the  problem is  that  I have  84
subdirectories  right now,  and there  will be  more in  the
future.  So,  before coding  an autogeneration of  all these
makefile stuff,  I wanted to  look for a simple  solution: I
just  want  to  strip  the string  prefix  "lib/"  from  the
installation pathnames.
