Send them to xfce-goodies-dev and [email protected], and probably post them 
on the Xfce forum as well.

autoconf can't do that, but automake can do. E.g. if your icon is named 
"myicon.png" and its included in the project directory (either the 
toplevel directory or the panel-plugin/ dir), then you need to edit 
Makefile.am to include the following lines:

iconsdir = $(datadir)/myproject/icons
icons_DATA = myicon.png

Adjust the iconsdir path as necessary, but keep it relative to 
$(datadir) - this expands to $(prefix)/share.

Afterwards, rerun autogen.sh.
