Well, 'configure' is supposed to be portable.  We update it
when there is a need.  Since for release 'configure' contains
version number each release needs its own 'configure'.  ATM
I see no reason to regenerate 'configure' in the trunk.

This is slowly changing stuff.  AFAICS upstream changes are
mostly churn.  In the future we probably will need RISC-V stuff,
but it does not look urgent.

Note that we _do not_ use automake and I very much prefer to avoid it
(and related bloat).
