 We often have problems with people not running auto(re)conf before Setup
 configure, and things breaking later on. The hook that runs ./configure
 should fail if ./configure doesn't exist; it probably shouldn't give any
 suggestion on how to create it, as people will blindly follow the
 suggestion and one size probably won't fit all.

 This essentially depends on the proposals to split up hooks into smaller,
 composable parts.
