You want to use the "install-data-local" tag to do this.  Since these header files
are only for your configuration, they should be in your specific sys
directory.  For example, if you have added a libc/sys/wince directory, you could
add a libc/sys/wince/netinet subdirectory which has your header files in it and add
the following to its Makefile.am:

install-data-local:
         $(mkinstalldirs) $(DESTDIR)$(tooldir)/include/netinet; \
         for i in $(srcdir)/netinet/*.h; do \
           $(INSTALL_DATA) $$i $(DESTDIR)$(tooldir)/include/netinet/`basename $$i`;

You then have to regenerate the Makefile.in via: automake --cygnus Makefile

You can add to this if you have other header files that install into subdirectories
other than sys or machine.

I am assuming that you always want to install these header files.  If that is not
the case, then let me know what the circumstances are and I will show you how to
handle it via configuration.
