Thanks for your suggestion.
Every aufs git trees contain the aufs README file, I'd update them such
like this.
About "CPPFLAGS="-I /usr/src/linux/usr/include" make", obviously the
path name is not fixed and people think "/usr/src/linux" is obsoleted
and uncommon today. So I wrote it as "$LinuxSrc" in README in aufs-util.
