Not if you carefully use the correct version of autoconf/automake etc
and take care to remove the autom4te directory before creating the
patch. If you do that, the patch to the .in file should be very small.
If one just bluntly calls autoreconf with whatever version of autocrap
is installed, you will end up with possibly a megabyte patch.
