IIRC, I got a message that it would try to generate the files using my
autoconf, which is an older version, but it might not work. That's very
dangerous.
Also, this means if the tools exist, the file get generated needlessly,
slowing the build.
But it will not take 2.5 days to touch them in the spkg-install file.
