I think it means that you are using the debug versions of the windows
kernel libraries.  If you have the official SDK you should have BAT files
called N2D and D2N that switch kernels for you.

AUX is short for Auxiliary.  It used to be a serial port for a debugging 
terminal.  It can be emulated by debuggers.

You can also run something called Winox that loads the AUX driver and keeps
Windows happy.  I don't remember any other details: this was a Windows 3.0 
thing which I haven't seen since I upgraded to 3.1.  Watch out for conflict
with 3.0 debug kernels if you upgrade to 3.1.  After 3 successful installs of
3.1 on other machines my development machine choked because of this.  I had
to perform a completely fresh installation rather than an upgrade.
