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). -- Chuck
