It's KDE stuff and thus the stuff in admin/ that will force it to do it
a recheck :(

And in this case it's unbelievably easy (if you know a bit about the
autotools :) Just delete line 129 of configure.in (the line with the
call to AC_OUTPUT() with arguments). The correct way to do things is
already present: define files to output via AC_CONFIG_FILES (lines 131 -
138) and then call AC_OUTPUT *without* arguments (line 139).
