For each library, if users are meant to #include <foo/bar.h> then the library
should live in either /foo or /somewhere/foo in its tarball and git repo.
I'd personally put them at top level, to avoid having seemingly-redundant
paths like telepathy-glib/telepathy-glib/account.c.

(Rationale: then you can -I${abs_top_srcdir} -I${abs_top_builddir} (possibly
with /somewhere appended) and use an installed or uninstalled copy, without
noticing any difference, via #include <foo/bar.h>.)

Beyond that, whatever. I'd personally go for something like this (imagining
Gabble and a Wocky submodule to be part of the One Big Module, for the sake
of argument):

    ${top_srcdir}
    \- configure.ac (top level)
    \- doc/
       \- glib/
       \- qt4/
    \- examples/
       \- glib/
       \- qt4/
    \- gabble/
    \- mission-control/
    \- mission-control-plugins/
    \- m4/
    \- spec/
       \- Account.xml (etc.)
    \- telepathy-farstream/
    \- telepathy-glib/
    \- TelepathyQt4/
       \- Farstream/
    \- tests/
       \- lib
       \- gabble
          \- presence (etc.)
       \- glib
       \- qt4
       \- mc
          \- account-manager
          \- dispatcher
    \- tools/
    \- wocky/
       \- configure.ac (for submodule)
       \- wocky/
          \- wocky-util.h (etc.)
