Who wrote our autogen.sh script and why?

Why aren't we using autoreconf instead?

FWIW autogen.sh is seriously broken, it's getting incorrect results when comparing different versions of tools. It thinks 1.7 is newer than 1.11 because it's doing string comparisons which causes it to run the wrong versions of some of the tools. I can fix the version comparison but my inclination is not to bother since autogen scripts have been replaced by the autoreconf tool. As for testing the minimum required tool version; is there an actual problem being solved by this?
