According to the Automake manual the right way to do this is to call
AM_PATH_LISPDIR in configure.ac and then use:

dist_lisp_DATA = poke-mode.el poke-map-mode.el poke-ras-mode.el

(or alternatively the primary LISP instead of DATA, which would result
 in the files being byte-compiled before being installed.)
