Summary: reconf script not OK

Initial Comment:
The reconf script is not OK. It misses the m4/* macros. Also, it is better to have automake copy the missing files ISO of linking and the autom4te.cache dir should be cleaned after running reconf. My updated reconf script looks like this:

aclocal -I . -I m4 || die "The command 'aclocal -I . -I m4' failed"
autoheader --force || die "The command 'autoheader --force' failed"
automake --copy --add-missing --force-missing || die "The command 'automake --copy --add-missing --force-missing' failed"
autoconf --force || die "The command 'autoconf --force' failed"
rm -rf autom4te.cache

(yes, I force everything to be sure)

Regards,

Bas.

Message:
reconf seems totally pointless and we should ask users to use buildconf
instead. I'll proceed and simply remove reconf!

autoreconf is probably close to what buildconf is, but more generic and
"out of our control" so I'm reluctant to handing over to rely on that
(external) tool.

Message:
Is the reconf script even necessary? It seem to me to duplicate what
buildconf does. That that duplicates what autoreconf does, so maybe both of
them can go.
