Source tarballs should have the results of running autoconf included in them. This is standard practice, so that users wishing to build from source can just do configure, make and make install, without needing to have autoconf installed. Also, many users know to do configure but don't know about autoconf.

Since distros (eg Debian/Ubuntu) are so far behind at version 0.2 it makes sense that some users will want to have a later version. In particular, wiipresent needs wiimote_pending, which wasn't introduced until release 0.3.
