What purpose does build_aux serve in Qpid C++?
hi all,
Why do we need build_aux is Qpid cpp? This directory contains a number of
GPL files. And, this fact is pointed out in sources such as [1]. The same
behaviour can be achieved by applying the following patch and removing the
build_aux directory.

I have done the above and successfully built the source from scratch. I
would like to know the list's openion on this.

I don't know what the original reasoning for comitting build_aux was but if we
can build without it I'm all in favor.
