IMHO, The various bits generated from and added by the autotools shouldn't be 
committed. autoreconf -i works really well these days. For this project, that's:

INSTALL
Makefile.in
aclocal.m4
autom4te.cache
compile
config.guess
config.h.in
config.sub
configure
depcomp
install-sh
ltmain.sh
missing
mkinstalldirs

The main problem with this is that it causes the diffs to become really 
cluttered, especially if the local developer is using a different autoconf or 
automake version. Better, IMHO, to put up a list of tested autotools versions 
and a working bootstrap script (or a note to call autoreconf -i, if that's 
sufficient here).
