Why? config.charset is not used by 'configure'.

It's used by lib/Makefile, to create a file 'charset.alias' that is later
installed. If you were to put config.charset under build-aux/, the Makefile
rule would become more complicated because it would have to refer to
the build-aux/ dir (which can be ../build-aux/ or ../../build-aux/ or worse).
