This is just my opinion, but I'm very glad that these files are committed into the repository. This is because getting a fully working autoconf environment is ridiculously hard. I'm running two different Linux distributions (Ubuntu and Arch) as well as OSX on my machines, and not a single one of them can successfully run autoconf on this (and many others) project.
