Yes, that's what I suspected.

Yes, it only copies .c and .cxx files that are actually need to be
compiled and linked for a particular configuration. The basic
sequence of steps when using this approach is as follows:

1. Run make in libxsde. This will create the config.h file and
   copy the source files that are need for this configuration to
   libxsde/src/

2. Add files in libxsde/src/ (and all its subdirectories) to your
   project.

3. Add libxsde/ to the include search path (i.e. -I option).

Instead of copying the files it is also possible to generate a list
of all the source files that should be compiled. We employ this
approach in the Android build (etc/android/) where it is used to
create a makefile variable containing the list of all the .c and
.cxx files.
