If you have to change the configuration, you have to make a commit for
that and check in the updated files. 

That maintains the repository in a configurable, buildable state
for a downstream user who deosn`t have AutoTools installed.

If you use the same version of the tools as what was previously used,
then the diffs in those files will be minimized.
