Installing yat also installs test data. In /usr/local/share! Ugly! Either stop these from being installed or make sure that they install in /usr/local/share/yat or similar.

There is no reason to install the data, so if possible data should not be installed. That is my vote.

I can't find a way not to install the data (without omitting it from dist). One way to have no installed data would be to add a install-data-hook that simply removes everything in /usr/local/share/yat. I think that is ugly, so I prefer to find another way.

Hm, found a tricky way. First, replace dist_yat_data_DATA with something like test_data_for_dist. This will exclude the data files from dist and consequently from the install as well. Second, add a install-dist-hook that copies test_data_for_dist to test/data/ in distribution directory.
The install-dist-hook is a tag that let us modify the distribution between dist dir is created and tar ball is wrapped up.
See section 14.3 here http://sources.redhat.com/automake/automake.html#Dist
