You're welcome.
We have a check in configure the will error out if configure.ac is newer
than configure. We could potentially do something similar in Makefile
for the files created by configure eg below, but having tried it briefly
I don't think we should do this.
This is because configure will not replace files like Makefile or config.h
if they are unchanged from the previous run (which is desirable behaviour
most of the time), but that also means that when configure is updated in
a way that doesn't change the output, rerunning it will never allow it
to pass the check.

Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
