Unfortunately that's not always true; even little changes to e.g.
configure.ac can create huge diffs to the original configure script.


And in some cases, e.g. for GLPK 4.44 [1], newer autotools are needed
to fix the problem (perhaps without actually changing any autoconf or
automake source files).
