What else? You and some other people are defending this from the
beginning of this thread but no one explained what else might change.
If I patch configure.ac and Makefile.am, then run autotools and build
the RPM package that way, what else might go in unnoticed?

Please back up your claims. I do not have much knowledge to make
claims in either direction but I am willing to learn.
