autotools: Run configure if autogen didn't

We can't rely on autogen.sh doing this, and in the future we want to
switch to using:

env NOCONFIGURE=1 ./autogen.sh && ./configure --prefix=...

as that's going to be more reliable.
Comment 2 John Ralls 2014-12-03 04:01:43 UTC 
Just don't break out-of-source builds: Use %(srcdir)s instead of . . Doesn't affect this patch, just remember to keep it in mind.
Comment 3 Kai Lüke 2017-07-29 17:45:55 UTC 
It would be really nice to have this for the two UDisks dependencies libblockdev and libbytesize because there ./autogen.sh is not invoking ./configure.
The patch here seems to work, but maybe needs some more testing to make sure there is nothing left to do.
Comment 4 John Ralls 2017-07-29 18:01:46 UTC 
Remember that for individual modules you can always add 

   autogen-template="%(srcdir)s/%(autogen-sh)s && %(srcdir)s/configure --prefix=%(prefix)s %(autogenargs)s"
Comment 5 Kai Lüke 2017-07-30 10:49:38 UTC 
Thanks, that would also be enough, I don't have a preference on either one.
