distcheck fails with a AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR in EXTRA_DIST

[Andrew Suffield]

Given this structure:

./Makefile.am
./configure.ac
./foo/

and:

-- Makefile.am -----------
AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = foreign
EXTRA_DIST = foo
--------------------------

-- configure.ac ----------
AC_INIT(foo, 1.0)
AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE
AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR(foo)
AC_CONFIG_FILES(Makefile)
AC_OUTPUT
--------------------------

distcheck will fail while trying to run dist-gzip, complaining that it
can't put the relevant files into foo/. If this is an unsupported
arrangement, automake itself should probably barf on seeing the aux
dir in EXTRA_DIST.
