edit configure.ac in the top level directory.  If you need any external 
libs for dxf, take a look at the way the png hid works (just search for 
png).  Otherwise look at how "bom" shows up (really simple, you just 
list "dxf" in the 1 line where "bom" shows up).

Now edit src/Makefile.am and again, use the bom hid as a guide.  You'll 
want to add libdxf.a to EXTRA_LIBRARIES, add $(srcdir)/hid/dxf/hid.conf 
to EXTRA_DIST, and add

libdxf_a_SOURCES = \
	hid/hidint.h \
	hid/dxf/dxf.c

finally, you may or may not need to add hid/dxf/dxf_lists.h to 
BUILT_SOURCES -- look at the ps or png hid's here for example.s


Now that you have edited configure.ac and Makefile.am run "./autogen.sh" 
from the top directory.  This recreates configure and all of the 
Makefile.in's.  Now you should be able to ./configure and have it all 
Just Work.
