I like that answer best of all… I started with that approach this
morning, but then misread the automake documentation and convinced
myself that there had to be a better solution.  Reading your response,
and reading the automake documentation more carefully, I agree.
INSTALL should not be listed in aravis_DATA.  I'll submit that patch
upstream.

Thank you very much.  This was extremely helpful.
