For people using releases, it does not matter since the scripts are in the
tarballs.
Even if generated files are committed, there still needs to be a system or way
to verify that the scripts are indeed generated correctly.
Since Makefile.am, configure.ac, and *m4 files are updated quite frequently,
it would be a lot of overhead to having to commit updated scripts (by a single
person). It does not feel like a concept I would be comfortable with.
