Oh, that's genius! We can add an empty shell script that has a comment
with suggesting to run "autoreconf --force". Some packaging environments
prefer that in any case (Debian, I think) and Fedora even replaces the
files automatically with their own updated copies (%configure).

Thanks for the idea, I guess we'll take that approach.
