Why would a adonthell-devel package be required to build a wastesedge
package? The wastesedge configure script only checks for the presence
of the adonthell binary and whether it is sufficiently recent. This is
part of the normal package, so that should be enough.

A quick look at the doxygen manual didn't yield any clues how to set a
specific output encoding.

They are not installed at all, I believe. To do that, you would have
to put something like

pkgincludeadonthelldir = $(pkgincludedir)/adonthell
pkgincludeadonthell_HEADERS = ...

int src/Makefile.am and list all header files there.

But once again, it should not be necessary to create a devel package
(unless this is some weird requirement of rpm or Fedora)
