Sure. But without --force, files installed by automake, such as install-sh, missing, config.guess etc., will not be updated. The rationale for this behavior is to allow for local changes to these files to be preserved. But yes, it is a free choice of yours to make, both approaches are viable. > I'll probably remove autogen.sh altogether, and just replace its use in > the instructions with autoreconf.
