Just FWIW, I didn't reply to this point because it's been many years
since I last packaged a project using configure scripts (I just work
with languages I am comfortable with, and C is not one of them). As
others have pointed, shipping configure without compiling it from the
.ac/.in is bad and should be seen as a warning, if not directly as a
true bug.
