Really? I never encountered any in the, er, half dozen projects that do
that I have in source right now, nor in the others I have worked on.
When you change configure.in, autoconf replaces configure locally. When
you are finished, you check in both configure.in and configure.
The rest of the world download the delta and apply it. No problems,
because no one except for people developing the configure script ever
generate it...

Mmm. Which adds an external dependency to building the package that
wasn't present before.
