The stamp file used for configure target is config.status, which is always
present with configure scripts generated by autoconf. However, not all
configure scripts are generated by autoconf.
A number of projects ship a script with similar semantics that will generate
Makefile but not config.status (qemu and mplayer are two notable examples).
I recommend that Makefile is used as stamp file instead. This prevents
redundant configure runs on such packages.
