this is automake's default behaviour. If you add a 'AM_MAINTAINER_MODE'
definition it gives the configure script modality. After that it should not
try to regen itself unless you pass it --enable-maintainer-mode. At least that
is the result of my reading thus far, give it a try.
I still say this dual level configure script is horked.
