A bit of research shows that you got some facts mixed up. :-)
I see this, which hints that the GNOME autogen.sh is at least
from 1998.

That is still not 1994, but it is also not the creation of
the autogen.sh file as the commit mentions that it "has most
of the guts of $topdir/autogen.sh". However, I'm not able to
locate $topdir so I dig out when it was actually created.
Not that it really matters...
