One thing you could do is to put ACE and TAO into a sub directory with a
top-level Makefile.am above. This Makefile could then determine how and
where the ACE and TAO stuff should be installed. Please look at the
autotools build files in the Lorica autotools branch to see an example
of how this can be done:

http://svn.42tools.net/repos/lorica/branches/lorica-autotools/


But - there is really no need if you can use the RPMs from Ken.
