That's supported by default: see
  info Automake "VPATH Builds"

Apart from that feature, you can also specify source file names with
subdir components, e.g.,
  foo_SOURCES = a.c sub/b.c sub/subsub/c.c

and depending on whether you use the subdir-objects Automake option,
objects will land in the current directory or in relative subdirectories.

Hope that helps.

Cheers,
Ralf
