Yes, removing the vpath and moving george.c up one level works around
the problem
in the test case.
Should I file a bug for the fact that vpath and dist don't work together,
or is that already documented somewhere?

It doesn't quite solve the problem in my real world situation;
"make dist" didn't copy #included files, and I needed to add something like
EXTRA_DIST = foobar
to pathprob/Makefile.am.  (Maybe that's just an artifact of trying to do
"make dist" without first doing "make", though.)

Thanks,
Dan
