Only if resulting .in patch is overly complicated and/or large, which
occasionally happens with auto-generated contents.  In this case,
if patching original (e.g. .am) can result in smaller diff, it is
preferred over .in patching (doing it also makes the port to require
USE_AUTOTOOLS, quite naturally).  If simple .in patch is enough, there
is no much point to force our users to pull shitware (which autotools is
perfect example of) just to build the port.
