I'm reading up on VPATH builds. I'll toss the VPATH method over to the
Octave discussion list.
What you suggested above IS a VPATH build. VPATH is the 'make' variable
name for using a builddir that is different from the sourcedir, and your
proposal is just about adding syntactic sugar to the ./configure command
to make a VPATH build easier to specify from the configure command line,
by naming something other than '.' as the builddir.
Got it.
Thanks,
Dan
