Reasonable people differ here. For example, the autoconf authors
(http://subversions.gnu.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/autoconf/).
I think it's a better idea to include configure in CVS. Some macros only
exist in certain versions of autoconf, and other variables may enter into
play that make building it on the fly problematic. Though it makes for
lots of big, ugly diffs, you can always be sure that it will get
generated correctly if you do it yourself.
