I suspect Kevin's concern is that someone stuffs some hidden shell code into ./configure which isn't in configure.ac. (Of the "send all your private ssh keys to remote host" variety). This concern has some legitimacy. But OTOH someone could stuff the same code into configure.ac or Makefile.am, and it's likely very few people would notice.
