[BLAST_ANAWARE] configure(.in) recommended practice

Hi,

the recommended practice is that whoever changes configure.in also runs
autoconf on his machine and commits BOTH configure.in and the resulting
configure into CVS. The person not wishing to worry about these scripts
will then always have the version he can run immediately. This relies
on reasonably compatible versions of autoconf and m4 on different
platforms, but I have never seen conflicts arising from this.
