Some do, others don't. As a matter of fact, Emacs is the first
project I'm involved with (out of half a dozen others) where it's
suggested to do this.

I object that we require users to install Autoconf and Automake just
to build Emacs. Those are tools for developers, not for users. To
say nothing of non-Posix systems where this will add yet another level
of gratuitous problems. IMHO it doesn't make sense to go through all
that just to save us the ``cost'' of a 25KB file.
