The \c{build-auxiliary} +values can be used to specify auxiliary configurations that provide additional +components which are required for building or testing a package and that are +impossible or impractical to provide as part of the build configuration +itself. For example, a package may need access to a suitably configured +database, such as PostgreSQL, in order to run its tests. + +The \i{config} value is a filesystem wildcard patterns which is matched +against the auxiliary configuration names (which are in turn derived from +auxiliary machine names; see the \l{bbot \c{bbot} documentation} for +details). In particular, the \c{*} wildcard matches zero or more characters +within the name component while the \c{**} sequence matches across the +components. Plus, wildcard-only pattern components match absent name +components.
