Running configure always touches xtables/xtables-version.h, which
causes parts to rebuild even when the configuration has not changed.
(`./configure; make; ./configure; make;`).
This can be avoided if the AC_CONFIG_FILES mechanism is replaced by
one that does a compare and leaves an existing xtables-version.h
unmodified if the sed result stays the same when it re-runs.
