We also have bug 902825, which means anytime someone touches anything in
configure (even just deleting an unused variable in old-configure.in), it
does a full rebuild. Things like mozilla-config.h, xpcom-config.h,
js-config.h, and a bunch of other headers are dependent on the configure
output, and then everything else is dependent on those headers.
