I'm not confused at all, but maybe my description was not sufficiently 
clear.  I agree that it's the configure script and not autoconf or 
autoreconf that should work regardless of $PWD and agree with the rest 
of your description as well.

It might be nice to be able to do that trick with autoreconf as well, 
but if that's possible, I don't know how to do it.  As you correctly 
point out, the "configure" script is typically something that we 
developers generate (and check in to the repository), but that someone 
building from source would simply run.
