They won't be capable of processing the auto* stuff, then. autotools have
almost NO backward compatibility in practice, no matter what they would like
to say otherwise.

You only need to rerun the auto* stuff if you change something in
configure.in.  Otherwise, just don't run them :)

I do change stuff in configure.in for Debian, but I run auto* in my build
system before uploading the packages, so that the end users get a source
package that doesn't need auto* to be run.
