I do too. Akim has already given examples of where the auxiliary
directory is used for more than just autoconfiguration so IMHO promoting
config/ isn't a fair use of the function. If you want to promote
$ac_config_supdir/config/ as the directory of choice for
autoconfiguration files then that is fair use and I would promote that
use. I chose the SUPDIR name based on the denotation of auxiliary so
that it would fit the original intention of use. IMNSHO, I believe that
CONFIGDIR or CFGDIR is changing the intended use.
