If people think I'm exaggerating here, then let those people look for
packages that don't even extract properly on DOS where `aux' is a
special file.  Why do you think people have chosen aux/ as
AC_CONFIG_AUXDIR...  IIRC, it's even mentioned [1] in the Goat book!


[1] It is mentioned that ``do not use aux/''.
