And that's why Jason's empty build-aux was not populated. Since automake
(and libtool, and gettext) are not used, autoreconf doesn't run them.
But, automake is the tool that would, if it were used, install config-*
and install.sh into AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR.
Since we never invoke those tools, we don't automatically pick up the
scripts. And /that's/ why they are checked-in to the repository. We'll
just have to be careful, in the future, to update the scripts if we find
a need -- or switch to automake (but I think that's overkill).
