The default --aux-dir of "." clutters up the top-level directory.
Now that have agreed on a reasonable name for this directory, gnulib-tool
does not need to do this any more. I'm changing the default --aux-dir
to "build-aux".
Note: This is an INCOMPATIBLE change. You need to add an option
--aux-dir=. if you want to keep the previous behaviour.
* gnulib-tool (import): Change --aux-dir default to "build-aux".

--avoid=MODULE Avoid including the given MODULE. Useful if you
have code that provides equivalent functionality.
This option can be repeated.
