We are shipping > 300mb of compressed sources, I don't think we should be 
concerned with the size of autotool-generated scripts. In fact, I would 
argue its better to use newer autotools than some ancient version just 
because you want to save some disk space.

What would be nice is some convention where to store the autogenerated 
files and a script that copies them out of / back into the source 
directory.
