Why is sedding configure not enough?  I don't doubt it isn't, but can't
think why.  My understanding is that configure.ac is used as input to
generate configure.  Therefore, whatever Makefile rules are in place to
regenerate configure should be triggered if configure.ac has a
modification time later than configure.  By sedding configure, you
ensure that isn't the case and therefore the rebuild rules shouldn't be
triggered, right?

Anyway, thanks for fixing this, Ken.  Is this suitable for submission
upstream so we don't have to carry it around for too long?

Thanks,

Matt.
