No, they shouldn't have been in there - laziness on my part. We can
include them in source tarballs, but the assumption is that if you're
checking the code out from version control that you have things like
autoconf and don't mind getting your hands dirty.

Yes. Both actually. Removing them is the first step. Next, you just need
to do:

bzr ignore configure.in

or whatever, which will add configure.in to .bzrignore

I've already done this for these files.

Perfectly fine. I think you're doing quite admirably!
