configure ('./configure') is a pure bourne shell script produced by
autoconf (with an optional help of automake).
The idea is: The package maintainer has the specific version of autoconf
and automake installed. But those create a configure scrpt that configures
that package to (hopfully) any system that is close enough to posix.
