It's kind of hacky, but what about having the user `touch eautoreconf` in the
patch directory?  Or a file named "post_patch" containing a list of commands
to run.

Could we detect user patches touching autoconf files somehow, maybe by
hashing them beforehand or grepping patch headers, or would this be too error
prone?
