I have good news :) It's possible to have the best of both worlds with
the AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS macro, which will recursively call configure in
the subdirectories. It looks like I can add this without breaking any
of the above use cases.  The biggest change would be that when
autoconf is called from the top, all of the configure scripts are
generated at once, but that looks like a good thing.
