`include' in automake is a compile-time include, not a runtime
include.

I'm a bit suprised automake doesn't complain when it gets to the
include, since I don't see how it could find this file.

One ugly hack would be to define PETSC_TS_LIB before the include
(empty would be fine) and then use ` include' -- the leading space
will probably fool automake.

I don't recommend this.  It might break in the future.
