I believe that the general approach for many GitHub projects is that one
have to use automake, autoconf etc. to configure the configure script as
that is apt to change frequently.
Only when releases are made publicly available will the configure script be
generated and shipped. So unless they plan to update the configure script
frequently in their repo I think it is on purpose.
Kind regards Nick
