Follow-up Comment #6:

On further investigation it's not that simple after all.  An autogen.sh script
is written knowing exactly what is needed for a particular project, but
autoreconf needs to detect when a project needs this versus when it needs the
full autopoint treatment and when it doesn't need either, and that's
complicated enough by itself that I think this needs to wait for the next
release after all.  Still, knowing what to do is very helpful.

Bruno, re

> if new files (.m4 files or else) are needed as new dependencies of iconv.m4,
this method will not know about it

M4 dependencies should be taken care of by aclocal, shouldn't they?  I do see
that new non-M4 dependencies could be a problem.
