Some versions of autogen.sh are not doing the same thing as other. I
have seen many examples that end with running configure, and many that
don't. Some do extra version checking on which autotools they accept.

Some of these differences may be difficult to paper over. I am thinking
in particular of the variant that automatically runs configure.
