+## The AM_MAINTAINER_MODE macro also determines whether the

+## AM_MAINTAINER_MODE([enable])
+## - Build dependencies ON by default

+## No AM_MAINTAINER_MODE macro
+## - Build dependencies ON by default
+## - No configure option to control build dependencies
+##
+## The biggest concern for us is that version control systems like git
+## usually don't preserve dependencies between timestamps, so the build
+## system will often think that upstream build files like Makefile.am are
+## dirty and that rebuilding needs to occur when it doesn't. This is a problem
+## in release branches where we provide the autotools-generated files. Users
+## who don't have autoconf, automake, etc. will then have difficulty building
+## release branches checked out from git.
