Sort of.

If a tarball ships configure, good for us. If it does not, well, then that
means it will take a few seconds more to build and extra dependencies to be
installed. For a build system, all of that is a no-brainer, but for "users", it
can get annoying when they have to install, for example, half of the
gnome-devel stack just to satisfy an m4 macro in case they have to rerun the
configure generator.
