Yes, evidently this feature was around a long time ago but was turned 
off for some number of years.

Not exactly- it would be preferable if all packagers ran autoreconf as a 
matter of course.  This will ensure future changes to autoconf are 
picked up, even when building without redhat-rpm-config installed.

Anywhere that %configure isn't used will still need to be updated.  It's 
a much smaller list!
