There is a standard location for sources, as is for libraries and includes. In
Cygwin it's /usr/src. In some other Linuxes it's /usr/local/src.

I have been compiling lots of source distributions over the years. I am not aware
that you have to move or copy Makefiles. As far as I know you just need to:

cd /usr/src/yournewapp
./configure
make
make install

With the last command, all configuration files are automatically put in the right
folders.

HTH,
Daniel
