Well, #1, you should do that anyways. But, #2, no you don't -need- to have autoconf already run inside the tarball if you really don't want to; it's convention but there are projects that don't. Also, #3, doing this is as easy as running 'make dist' when you have an autotools build system, so generating said tarballs for release may actually be -easier- than what you're doing now.
