As I explained (and you ignored), configure.ac tends to change a lot less 
between upstream releases, especially with a lot fewer irrelevant changes 
like line number changes or changes in aclocal snippets (because upstream 
WILL regenerate the file, not surgically edit it!), so it's a lot less 
likely to produce fuzz.
