From my personal experience I have concluded that the odds to successfully run `autogen.sh' for a person not involved in project is very low and tends to zero as project size increases. I think it is important that `configure' is in CVS _especially_ for a project with such a slow release cycle as Emacs has. I always use CVS Emacs and I'm very happy with not having to run some specific version of Autoconf.
