Not usually, as the resulting Makefile attempts to deduce when it is
out-of-date with respect to the inputs to 'autoconf', and it re-runs the
equivalent of ./autogen.sh and ./configure when necessary.
That being said, the self-update procedure works only for "minor"
changes to the build procedure - which is understandable, as updates
cannot possibly work in general due to the procedure's
self-referentiality. So when we make "major" changes one sometimes needs
to start over from scratch, as in your wrapper script. (Unfortunately,
the only definition of "major" is, "you need to start over from scratch".)
