Can you check your file time stamps just after someone has done a 'cvs
up'? For example, if their 'configure.ac' file is is newer than their
'configure' file, or some other dependency like that, then they'll
have to run 'autoconf. This dependency is in the generated makefile,
so 'make -d' should be able to tell you exactly what dependency is
involved.
You may need to arrange for 'cvs up' to put the proper time stamps on
the updated files (e.g. 'configure.ac', 'configure', 'aclocal.m4').
