There are also files that when touched, should cause regeneration of 
another file.  For instance, typo PR 
https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/5144 formerly touched aclocal.m4. 
  Serhiy said that changing that might mean that configure should be 
regenerated.  (Not knowing anything about this, I reverted the spelling 
correction.)
