Yes, I am sure that will happen. And I'm the first to admit that if I still
lived in Debian (and was able to use a new enough distro to have the requisite
autoconf version), this problem wouldn't have affected or even interested me.
But I hope I'll be forgiven for trying to point out that:
1. Emacs HEAD users on OS X will mostly use the copy_autogen script in future
2. Those people may well end up slightly confused along the way, like me (and I
think I qualify as very experienced)
3. Any issues arising from that confusion or the freshness of the files in
./autogen will likely end up filed as emacs bugs
Thanks to Glenn I can now make my own build and the Homebrew build work, and
I've provided what I hope is useful feedback on the changes, so I don't mind if
this bug report is closed.
