Don't worry, there's usually not a single way to do things, and your
proposals will probably be as good as mine. In any case, if there's
some problem, we can always revert them :)

Nah, you can safely remove it. I'll change it in SVN.

That's an option, but to prevent problems I tend not to rerun it
unless I have patched the autotools source, which wasn't needed here.
If you want to rerun it, it would be OK too. Except in some cases,
there are usually no big problems.

I've never tried them, but feel free to use them if you want :)
