I realized after sending this that in the case of autoconf, this may be
necessary for bootstrapping. However, there are other notable examples
such as python
(http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/python/python/dist/src/).
Just do a google search on "cvsweb configure" and you'll go through pages
and pages of cvs repositories that include a generated configure script.
