Without them, the compilation may fail, or generate an incomplete build, or hide potential build errors, or users may report lots of compilation failures due to missing or bad dependencies. With autoconf, it is easier to find out what exactly need to install first without going through a painful debugging process. Although it takes some time to create and maintain autoconf files, it increases the integrity of the project and makes things easier to maintain in long term.
