            Bug ID: 176098
           Summary: [GTK] Do not use autogen whenever possible in JHBuild
                    modules
           Product: WebKit
           Version: Other
          Hardware: Unspecified
                OS: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebKit Gtk
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
          Reporter: aperez at igalia.com

Many <autotools> modules in the GTK+ internal JHBuild will run
“autogen.sh” to regenerate build files from the Autotools sources.
Running it is *not* needed for modules built from packaged releases
because those already include all the needed files.

Running Autotools involved running slow Perl scripts and the M4
macro processor. By pointing modules to the “configure” script
directly, time would be saved when building the dependencies in
the internal JHBuild.
