By that reasoning, then configure and m4/* should not be in there
either. I think when someone asked about this earlier you said you
wanted to let people checkout and run configure without having to
generate it. So, which is it? It has to be all-or-nothing and not
halfway as it has been. If you are going to support configure without
having to run autoreconf, then the configure helpers need to be there
to address the problem that was reported. If you are going to require
autoreconf, then configure will be overwritten and there is no reason
to have it checked in. As the project leader, you can make this
decision, but then I also expect you to make a new release very soon.
