FWIW, I don't care much.  Go ahead if you like.

FWIW2, it doesn't seem to reduce the naming inconsistency, as
other package use build-aux for the scripts Automake has in lib.
But then again, for the other packages, those scripts are not
primary sources, unlike for Automake.

Please ensure check and maintainer-check still works afterwards.

Autoconf, Libtool, gnulib and maybe others have ways to
fetch files from Automake, e.g., install-sh.  I realize
they are broken already, since they have not made the switch
to git yet, thus pull potentially-outdated files from the
old CVS tree.

Cheers,
Ralf
