One problem with that is, one cannot "blindly" run autoreconf -fi and
expect it to be 100% compatible with the multitude of Autotools' based
projects. Typically one will need to update the configure script, m4
macros as well as Makefile.{am,in} templates. And if one doesn't verify
the build framework, one can miss files where regenerating them drops
stuff (as one example, config.h.in files where someone has inserted
stuff the wrong way).
