Right now you have to list the files all by name.
This particular feature has been the subject of much discussion; you
can search the list archives for more information.

I personally just populate _SOURCES once near the beginning of my
project (usually I write a fair amount of code before writing the
auto* infrastructure) using `ls' (in Emacs, C-u M-! ls *.[ch]).  Then
once it is set up, I just add new files to _SOURCES as I create them.
The overhead of this is pretty low.  I suppose a motivated person
could teach Emacs to do this automatically, yielding a low-tech IDE :-)
