this message indicates a problem in the makefile.  It seems that the
variable mpg_OBJECTS contains "windows.o", while it should contain
"res/windows.o".

One idea: AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS should be at the top of Makefile.am;
it's bad that Automake has to process the suffix rules before it sees
the "subdir-objects" option.

If you do this change, does mpg_OBJECTS then contain "res/windows.o"
(via some helper variables, of course).

Are you willing to test this with CVS Automake?  (Requires test
Autoconf.)

HTH,
