The configure script itself is generated by autoconf from configure.ac. 
You need to run several tools to generate it (and a few other files) so 
there is typically a shell script to do all that named autogen.sh.

Regenerating the configure script is needed only for a developer, so 
someone getting the source from GitLab and potentially adding or 
removing some files.

The distributed source code, include the configure script and all these 
files, so an user can recompile the software on its own machine without 
using autoconf.
