Marking as draft to prevent unintentional merge until the asterisk PR is merged. |

The content is written such that it shouldn’t matter when it is merged. If it won’t go in until the other PR does, then I will update it to remove the ambiguity. |

You don't have to remove the ambiguity but you might update the tip noting that branch changes update configure.ac and may require re-running bootstrap. |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Sorry, I just thought of one more warning...
Do NOT run bootstrap.sh if configure already exists unless you've made changes to configure.ac or any of the files in the autoconf directory. Doing so could result in unintended changes not related to your task.
