vincent already changed autogen.sh to use autoreconf. my point here is -
autoreconf is not a great solution if i - or anyone else, needs to memorize a
magic set of cmdline options to use it. autogen.sh always "just worked" with
zero options (unless i wanted to pass options to configure and then i'm
changing its behavior, but it still works without them). it's a poor tool that
doesn't "just work" in the obvious way without magic options. thus why an
autogen.sh should be there to do what it always has done. :)
