  Yes, autogen.sh uses auto* tools to rebuild the configure
script, but the configure script is included in the tarball.

  It is not in the repository because different auto*tools in
different platforms generate slightly different configure scripts
leading to almost one configure update per commit...

  Right.

  Fixed in the repo to read:

     tar jxvf dillo-3.0.tar.bz2
     cd dillo-3.0
     ./configure; make
     sudo make install-strip
