autoheader creates the .in only for the first AC_CONFIG_HEADERS argument.

If you don't want your handcrafted template to be overwritten by
autoheader, register a dummy header first using

  AC_CONFIG_HEADERS([config.h src/warped/WarpedConfig.h])

or

  AC_CONFIG_HEADERS([config.h])
  AC_CONFIG_HEADERS([src/warped/WarpedConfig.h])
