You can.  Just look for files named 'configure', 'Makefile.in',
'Makefile.in.in', and to reduce false positives, look inside the files
for the "Generated by ..." string.

Also look for files named 'config.guess', 'config.rpath', 'config.sub',
'ar-lib', 'install-sh', 'missing', 'mdate-sh', 'test-dirver,' 'test-
driver.scm', 'texinfo.tex', 'insert-header.sin', 'boldquot.sed'.

Perhaps this misses *some* of the Autotools files, but it should be
most of them, which eliminates *most* of the extra review work
generated by Autotools.

Greetings,
Maxime.
