Precisely.  That's why I still don't understand your argument.  I have
this:

| ~/src/a2ps-4.13 % cat bootstrap
| #! /bin/sh
| set -e
| contrib_scripts="card fixps pdiff psmandup psset"
| 
| echo "Bootstrapping a2ps..."
| 
| # These are created by the Makefile, which is missing for the time
| # being.  They are needed by configure.
| for i in $contrib_scripts
| do
|   touch contrib/$i.in
| done
| 
| # Autoconf, Automake, Gettext.
| autoreconf --force --install --verbose
| 
| # Configure and make the missing guys.
| ./configure
| 
| # Configure was using card.in etc.  But they were probably fake ones.
| # Remove them, and let make do the rest.
| (
|   cd contrib
|   for i in $contrib_scripts
|   do
|     rm -f $i $i.in
|   done
|   make
| )
| make
