Nyah, its not complicated:
the autoconf and automake files are timestamped. If you run make dist in
an automake project in the zlib directory, you'll get a 'pristine'
tarball with monotonically increasing dates across the source and
generated files. Similarly for autoconf without automake, you need to
produce (from memory)
configure.in <= acinclude.m4 < aclocal.m4 < autoconf.h.in < configure.

That needs to be reflected in CVS.
