AUX is a reserved name in Microsoft filesystems (e.g., NTFS, FAT32, exFAT, etc.), so having a directory with this name can cause problems on Windows operating systems and other Microsoft services (such as OneDrive). None of the files in this directory are used anywhere in the CARDAMOM code base: std.c is a duplicate of the file in C/math_fun, oksofar.c is a duplicate of the file in C/auxi_fun, and WRITE_CFUN_FILE.c is not part of any other code. Therefore, this entire directory contains only legacy (dead) code, and can safely be deleted. This will not only prevent issues with Microsoft file systems, but will also make the codebase easier to maintain.
