For pyxplot I did not find a way to make it read from different paths
depending on whether I run `make distcheck` or just `make`. The paths
for the datafiles are encoded within the scriptfile.

For emacs I use org-mode to export, and that exports to where the file
is. I might be able to change that by using the publish-mechanism, but
I’m not sure about that. Stackoverflow suggests something, though:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9559753/emacs-org-mode-export-to-another-directory

#+bind: org-export-publishing-directory "./exports"

* This is a test headline
Some text here.  This should be exported to the "./exports" directory.

I might be able to do that for the more important part (emacs) with an
additional --eval.

I’m asking at address@hidden

Best wishes,
Arne
