No, it is not... it's just the lesser evil most of the times ;).

If the build fails due to autotools bootstrapping that's a bug somewhere, 
which should be fixed and not worked around. The problem with autotools 
however is its complicated nature and the fact that upstream's files often 
contain some hacks in itself (and thus you are right that it's smarter not to 
do the bootstrapping during building).

Trigger uses only a small subset of autotools (e.g. static jam-files instead 
of generated makefiles) and the autotools stuff is pretty straightforward. 
Hence my decision to do it during building.

Cheers,
    Stefan.
