I thought about this quite a while ago for the xorg modules. I came to
the conclusion that it would provide no benefits. The files that would
be placed in build-aux are just a small subset of the overall files in
the root dir. It looks like no one else has seen a benefit either. There
are over 200 modules in xorg, and none of them ever had it., or perhaps
just one.

We basically use the root dir as a build-aux dir. Anything else goes in
subdirs with a Makefile.am.
