IMO, a simple bootstrap.sh containing the appropriate autotool commands would be better.
A source release for a binary package isn't supposed to require
autotools. IIRC, this is GNU standards mandated; if not it certainly
is autoconf mandated. The configure script exists for the
non-maintainer.
You're right - I just hate the *huge* patches that result from this.
Now that just happens to be a cygwin-apps Style 2 mandate, I believe. ;)
