In other words, we would need something that acts like autoreconf except for the fact that it would not attempt to build configure from configure.ac.

Hi Andreas,
it would have been nice and simple, but it does not work. We get:
$ cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@cvs.cs.unipr.it:/cvs/ppl co ppl $ cd ppl $ mv configure.repo configure $ mv Watchdog/configure.repo Watchdog/configure $ AUTOCONF=true autoreconf configure.ac:29: error: Autoconf version 2.60 or higher is required configure.ac:29: the top level autom4te: /usr/local/bin/m4 failed with exit status: 63 aclocal: autom4te failed with exit status: 63 autoreconf: aclocal failed with exit status: 63
Adding -v we get:
$ AUTOCONF=true autoreconf -v autoreconf: Entering directory `.' autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Gettext autoreconf: running: aclocal -I m4 configure.ac:29: error: Autoconf version 2.60 or higher is required configure.ac:29: the top level autom4te: /usr/local/bin/m4 failed with exit status: 63 aclocal: autom4te failed with exit status: 63 autoreconf: aclocal failed with exit status: 63
Note that:
