[PATCH] Remove AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR

[PATCH] Remove AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR

[Earnestly]

Likewise in cloog[0] and check[1], using autoreconf -i (or autogen.sh) results
in ./configure failing with:

    configure.ac:137: error: required file 'config/ltmain.sh' not found

This commit simply removes this AUX_DIR which lets the ./configure phase
complete successfully.

I'm not able to reproduce this problem.

And side-effects? Why we have config/ directory at all?

Frankly, I don't like the patch. AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR([config]) means
that all the generated files/symlinks are stored in config/ rather
than in project root directory. I'd like to keep the top level
directory usable.
