Suggest changing the name of this file.  Not everybody gets the source code via 
Bazaar.  When these inconvenient changes happened, I got caught out like Alan 
Mackenzie, since I wouldn't think of reading this file.

Better yet, include a configure script that calls autogen.sh and then runs 
itself.  If people consider this an inconvenience w.r.t. the version control 
tool, then perhaps autogen.sh could generate configure.local instead.

As others have said here, people expect to be able to do ./configure; make 
install.
