Actually I poked at it this weekend, and was about to finish up.  So 
hold off for another day, if you would.

The answer is, there are two different build environments to consider 
for headers:  the in-tree build environment, and the installed-header 
build environment.  That is why including "lib/foo.h" does not work, 
particularly in nested headers.  You need to fiddle INCLUDES in 
Makefile.am to get the header path correct at build time, and then 
ensure that all headers are installed in the proper location (by 
default, $includedir) using include_HEADERS.  That way, cld_msg_rpc* 
remains in lib/ while the other headers remain in include/

Also, while splitting this up, I noticed that ping_open is no longer set 
to true.
