If it did configure during the autogen command the the options would be lost by running configure again in the %build section
Means, we could drop the autoconf options, couldn't we? Well, configure will actually run twice, but apart from double work for the Koji server, we have no disadvantages. If a package needs autogen (BTW, which usually happens for VCS checkouts and similar stuff, not for released and versioned software) I use it as follows:
%prep %setup -q
%build ./autogen.sh %configure --enable-startup-notification --enable-gtk-doc-html
