There was always a rule for configure as well, otherwise I wouldn't have added one for config.in. But the difference with config.in is that it depends on a third file, src/stamp-h.in, that functions as a timestamp file, because autoheader does not modify its output if it wouldn't change, thus to avoid running autoheader again and again the stamp file is needed. I have already extended make-dist to fix the timestamps for distribution.
