good question, thanks.

The current situation is that AC_CONFIG_LIBOBJ_DIR contains a check
which contains a typo, thus it's almost impossible to trigger it.

For details, see:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf-patches/2005-05/msg00006.html

It looks as if the intention was to allow only characters `m4_cr_symbols2'
in the parameter.  But this wouldn't allow characters - . /   
In particular, our beloved ``build-aux'' would be ``invalid''.

I don't want to bother with this any more; I propose to remove the broken
check.  OK?
