I'm trying to bootstrap buildtools but foud out that buildtools is shipped with an configure.ac which isn't an ac file, but just plain configure itself (as the local bootstrap script just copies it to configure). This is hard to detect for my generic scripts who like to generate a configure from the .ac file. Is there a reason why this ac file exists? If not, I'd be happier if it could just be renamed to configure instead, as I don't think this is the right solution.
