What I do on my projects at Labs is to automatically create the configure
scripts when building a release tarball (for which I have a makedist.sh script);
in releases it is then just a matter of running ./configure && make install.

But since configure (and Makefile.in in this case) are generated automatically
they should not be in the repository, imho.

This is indeed a two-schools kind of thing; at least one of my colleagues at
Labs does not agree :)
