Yes, the distribution supplies a working configure script, so you
don't need autoconf to use the files as distributed.  Only if you
touch configure.in, autoconf is needed.

Similarly, the distribution supplies a working engine/prim.i (etc.),
so you don't need gforth to build it from the distribution.  But if
you touch prim, or any other prerequisite of engine/prim.i, you do
need a working gforth to rebuild it.

If you check in just the real source files (i.e. not configure and
engine/prim.i), you need to run BUILD-FROM-SCRATCH after checking out
a version.  If you check in some generated files, you probably need
BUILD-FROM-SCRATCH, too.
