I found that all sources in one directory is difficult.
Am example len put all sshd sources in subfolder sshd.
To make, install, clean you must create a Makefile.in with all rules.
But i can create Makefile.am :
------------
AM_INSTALL_PROGRAM_FLAGS=-m 0755 -s

LDFLAGS=-L.. @LDFLAGS@

sbin_PROGRAMS=sshd

LDADD=-lssh -lopenbsd-compat

# source files

sshd_SOURCES=sshd.c auth.c .....
------------
and append in configure.in in macro AC_OUTPUT -> sshd/Makefile

and run automake.

I found this easy for all developers.
