That whole CONCEPT of a "copylib" is broken and it's sad that we're making
exceptions for those.

Actually, the right parallel to draw here is to finally start requiring
autotools-using projects to run a full autoreconf -i -f in %prep.
Generated shell scripts are NOT source code, we should require the stuff to
be built from its true source code just as we do for Java JARs, target
binaries in cross-compilation tools etc.
