Whoops, I must have missed that.

That's certainly a good reason.

It's a little incorrect, though. The configure.ac to configure
conversion is done by the maintainer (you) on your local machine on
release. The icedtea-web release tarball will contain a generated
configure script. This configure script is sufficient for use by
everyone building icedtea-web from the release tarball. There should be
no need for anyone to process configure.ac locally. Even if
AC_LANG_SOURCE was a new thing, it wouldn't matter.

Thanks,
Omair
