False.
A prebuilt script is a good idea, - at this time I can't create it on my
own, since my autoconf is too old.
It should be no problem to run a script on the CVS-Server at every
checkin, which generates a new configure file. The g200 people implemented
something like this to forward a mail to their dev-list with the
commit-log.
I don't know, if everybody is allowed to install this script, possibly Rob
or Brian have to do this.
