What Miles says is my feeling as well. And having a 'bin/' as was suggested
in one post doesn't make much sense to me either - if you want your compiled
output to go elsewhere than the source directory then the normal way of doing
that is to do and out-of-tree build (so if that's not working - I have
not checked -
then that's something which would be worth looking into.)
