Do you review the 10k+ lines of generated bash in ./configure, too?

./configure shouldn't be in your repo unless it's handwritten

Pretty much. It is called "autotools" for a reason.

Theoretically you should be able to generate the configuration scripts through "autoconf" (or autoreconf), or generate Makefile.in for configure from Makefile.am using "automake", etc.
