It is a bug if you must have the tools required by autogen.sh and possibly
specific versions of those tools. The source code archive should be ready
to use as soon as it is extracted, so you could call "configure" without
the need to create the file yourself [by running autogen.sh] beforehand.
The source code maintainers ought to run autogen.sh prior to creating the
tarball and publishing it.
