How do you know that touch is going to touch files in the right order? 
What if it takes, say, 2 seconds to touch between configure and 
configure.in? Then configure will be out of date with respect to 
configure.in.

I don't think this solves the problem - it will just hide it.

Maybe you should add an "autogen" script to regenerate all the 
autoconf-related files? This is what the GNU projects do in their CVS.
