Should ./autogen.sh take on this role automatically?
Probably, although I'm not quite sure how ./autogen.sh comes about.
Is it an arbitrary script that every project rewrites? How is it
related to ./bootstrap?
Looking at git history, it seems I added a trivial version which just
did autoreconf back in 2009, and most of the work was done on it early
on by Jim Meyering.
