Breaking backward compatibility is so bad -- I've been bitten many
times by autoconf-generated scripts that many GNU packages use and
insist on remaking locally (why?) and that could not work because
my local autoconf was newer than the version used by the package
author.
autoconf/automake gets rerun automatically if the timestamps for
configure/Makefile.in is newer than for configure.ac/Makefile.am and
other such files. It often occurs if you are getting something from
CVS.
