OK, so it's not my broken setup, good.

I guess there are 2 problems here:

1) auto-re-running configure fails

2) even if you re-run configure manually, the auto-re-run will still
happen.

Not sure of both are a problem since the above commit. :-)

Perhaps 2) is easier to debug. I don't understand why we try to
auto-re-run when autogen.sh was invoked manually. Does it not update
the timestamp of some stamp file?

Thanks,

Miklos
