ah yes; afaik, this is a known limitation of autotools: you should never
give any paths as relative paths, always use absolute paths!

the reason is simple: all makefiles generated by autoconf will have the
include path for Pd expanded to "../pd/src"; while this makes sense in
the top-level directory, it will expand to non-existant paths in
subdirectories (e.g. in ...gem/src/plugins it will expand to
...gem/src/pd/src)

this also explains a small mystery:
Gem's configure will stop if it doesn't find the pd sources;
unfortunately it did find them at the relative path, but could not use
them from within the subdirectories!
