'./autogen.sh all' currently configures three Git variables with values like '^\(def[^[:space:]]+[[:space:]]+([^()[:space:]]+)', avoids touching the configuration if it's already correct for other reasons, and on GNU/Linux hosts makes backups of all its configuration-file changes. I'd hate to cut and paste all that stuff out of a text file.
