Quoting Alfred M. Szmidt:
: autoconf/automake gets rerun automatically if the timestamps for
: configure/Makefile.in is newer than for configure.ac/Makefile.am and
: other such files.  It often occurs if you are getting something from
: CVS.

I applaud the intent.  I cry in front of the harmful situations it raises
due to no respect for backward compatibility.

At least metaconfig / jmake are smarter: they don't regenerate blindly
unless they identify they're being run by the developper.
