If the project uses Autoconf/Automake, then you can just read the .in files instead. If they include anything unexpected, then it will be pretty obvious (since anything unexpected will be a lot more complicated–looking than anything normal). But if they do include a bunch of custom m4 files, then you’re going to be spending more time on it than you would want.
