A good heuristic is to re-run `autoconf' whenever any of the
`configure.in' files or `aclocal.m4' changes during a cvs
update and to re-run `fptools/configure' whenever any of the
.in files changes.

In fact, it is better to use `autoreconf' instead of
`autoconf', because the former handles all `configure.in's
in the source tree (otherwise, you have to call `autoconf'
manually in each directory where the `configure.in' changed) 
and it also takes care of running `autoheader' where
necessary.
