Well, Yaakov obviously did that for some reason that is not really transparent to me now and started doing so much earlier than the version of the current file suggests (at leat in 2014). From the comments, what he wanted to do is keep a newer version that made it into cygport via a submodule in data/gnuconfig… which has never been updated since Yaakov dropped maintenance, most likely because that wasn't really on the radar until now. Now, I could certainly rip out the gnuconfigize from the autotools packages 1.16+ since these would all come with later versions of these files, but I have no idea what secondary effects this will have.
