Ooops. No, git RPM wouldn't need autoconf, neither building git from *.spec file or SRPM. But rpm targed will need autoconf run, and configure script packed in tar file (and I think that having configure script in distribution tar files will be good idea... but perhaps optionally under NO_AUTOCONF or USE_AUTOCONF).

And I of course forgot about that. So that is only half of a patch...

Besides that patch was meant as example of using autoconf. Automatic tool (rpmbuild) using automatic tool (./configure script).

P.S. we could distribute ./configure script like we distribute preformatted documentation, in separate 'configure' branch.
