You are right. We only need to run autogen.sh when either configure.in
or the .m4 files change.

I didn't really intend to do this :-) as every single developer needs
to upgrade to exactly the same version of autoconf, aclocal and the .m4
files, which doesn't look that realistic to me.
So Richard's question is still valid. I've attached an abbreviated log
of the last few revisions of configure.in. If more autogen.sh runs
were necessary, I currently do not have a good explanation. Richard:
Does this look OK? If not, how did the necessity to run autogen.sh show?
