Is there any reason to have a copy of autotools files (compile, config.guess, etc.) in the BuildTools repository?
I would like to remove them and store only some patch files, if necessary.
run_autotools -i should then pick up the files from the autotools installation and patch them up.
Issue created by migration from Trac.

Also -i should become the default.
