FWIW the above point wasn't obvious to me; if that's the case, then it needs to 
be spelled out.

My perspective here is as a developer without commit rights to svn; I'm 
developing patches to be attached to the issue tracker, and occasionally they 
require changing configure.in

BTW, should the changes to the generated "configure" be excluded from such 
patches, or should they be included? (to what extent do they contain meaningful 
information during review?)

That's roughly what I was doing, yes; sorry for any confusion.
