  aufs CONFIG_AUFS_EXPORT build option should be enabled

Bug description:
  This is needed to export aufs filesystems via nfs.

  This was set in a previous version (in Debian - http://bugs.debian.org
  /cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=490079), and released in Ubuntu build for
  aufs 0+20080719-4
  (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/aufs/0+20080719-4), so this
  could perhaps be considered a regression (although to be fair aufs and
  its packaging has undergone significant rewriting since then).

  Regardless considering aufs is a popular method of supporting large
  storage systems (among other things) and nfs is a popular method of
  exporting large storage systems, it would be great if this could be
  enabled in a future build, unless there is some known
  contraindication.
