Yup, or at least re-run config.status.  I've griped that configure
writes far too many files myself.  But I didn't have much luck
convincing the other developers that it's a bad idea to set things up
that way, rather than writing just a small number of config files.

We're going to have to deal with the problem though if we ever want
to be able to build in a separate directory tree...
