Title: #268: Build system must regenerate file when template changes

tiran commented:
"""
I don't like the approach and prefer ```AC_CONFIG_FILE``` over manual sed for templating. You only have to add a couple of rules like 

```
# Makefile.python.am
$(top_builddir)/ipasetup.py: $(top_builddir)/config.status $(top_builddir)/ipasetup.py.in
        $(MAKE) -C $(top_builddir) $(@F)
```
