tiran commented: """ You gave a good reason to not use ```CONFIG_STATUS_DEPEDENCIES``` and I agree with your reasoning. I don't see a case against ```AC_CONFIG_FILE```, though. ```config.status``` substitution feature is more powerful than manual sed rules. I'm worried that we are going to run into problems in the future. It's surprising that some files can use all ```@VAR@``` substitutions and some only a limited subset. Your patch already introduces proper dependencies for ```ipasetup.py``` and ```version.py```. Why not introduce a build rule for these files in ```Makefile.python.am```?
