True, but ... * config.status's primary task is acting as cache for files it _wants_ to generate. * config.h's (autoheaders) only can change when running configure. I.e. technically there is no need to generate them from inside of config.status. > Having a file that is only produced when configure is run is > counter-intuitive.
