I've been working for a few weeks with this included. As a developer
actively making changes to Makefile.am, etc., I just configure with
--enable-maintainer-mode.
I've run into the timestamp problem in the past on machines with older
versions of autoconf where the makefile thinks that autoconf needs to
be re-run. That can be a pain.
