Don't do this. People who install the binary package will not be able
to access the three script files, then. Consider installing them
into the appropriate documentation dir (eg. share/doc/whatever) or
installing them, but with some kind of extension (eg. conf-file.xfwm).
You may want to tell the user more about these files so that they can
install them (where do they go?) or provide a script/commandline to do
it for the user.

I realize it is quite common for X11 programs to install here ("hier",
hehe), but if it's difficult to change, maybe you could at least
provide an ``ln -s ${PREFIX}/lib/X11/XFCE/doc
${PREFIX}/share/doc/XFCE''.

You mean you need a whole scripts/configure for that!? What's wrong
with a do-configure: target? I only see one line here!
