We don't need to do it for all languages, just for the languages Emacs 
is written in. And people shouldn't need to cough up the right regex; 
all they need to do is run "./autogen.sh all" or "./autogen.sh git". We 
should get people into the habit of running autogen.sh that way, when 
they clone from the repository.
