Well, since they are all in the source tree, I guess that they are all
not generated files, or at least most of them aren't.  Can you just make
one rule to copy them all, or many of them?

stamp-copy: whatever-this-depends-on
        cp $(filelist) ...
        for file in ..; do cp ... done
        ...
        : >$@

all-local: stamp-copy
CLEANFILES += stamp-copy $(copied_files) ...

Cheers,
Ralf
