Something I've occasionally thought about trying: add hooks to the CVS
server scripts to notice when a "master"-type file is checked in, and
automatically do the necessary regeneration on the server, followed by
an automated commit. It's far from foolproof, though, and brings with it
its own set of problems.
Another idea -- and this one I am actually trying -- is to have those scripts
notice if you try to check in, say, aclocal.m4 without also checking in
acinclude.m4 and configure, and error out.

Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place.
Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are,
by definition, not smart enough to debug it.
