PATCH 1/1 Remove AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR

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.
