No, please don't remove configure. On my system, the autogen.sh in avifile
doesn't work. If I run autogen.sh I get:

[klevin@watcher avifile-0.6]$ ./autogen.sh

If I then run `./configure`, I get:
[klevin@watcher avifile-0.6]$ ./configure
checking build system type... i586-pc-linux-gnu
checking host system type... i586-pc-linux-gnu

./configure: syntax error near unexpected token
`AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE(avifile0.6,'
./configure: ./configure: line 1071: `AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE(avifile0.6,
$AVIFILE_VERSION, no-define)'

Now, admitedly, I still can't get the 0.6 series avifile to compile even
w/ the configure from cvs, but at least it manages to generate a Makefile.
