Might there be a good reason to add an option for the build directory to the configure script? Patterning after this:
Fine tuning of the installation directories: --bindir=DIR user executables [EPREFIX/bin] --sbindir=DIR system admin executables [EPREFIX/sbin] for example: --builddir=DIR object and libraries It's essentially the same as doing a mkdir ../DIR cd ../DIR ../octave/configure OTHER_OPTS cd ../octaveOr something like that. By having this as an option, it lets people know that a separate build directory can be done, and it might be useful down the road to someone who wants to build a generic script or something.
