I've recently changed over from using boost-build

Boost build builds in-source.
I've become quite used to building and searching etc from the source root
~/src $ b2 module
~/src $ git grep foo
This work flow has been broken because I'm not using out of source builds
~/src/build $ make module
~/src/build $ git grep... dang it! <ctrl-c>
~/src/build $ cd ..
~/src $ git grep foo
~/src $ make modu... dang it! <ctrl-c>
~/src $ cd build
~/src/build $ make module
I can't be the only one who wants to have the benefit of out of source
builds and be able to build from in-source.
Will `-C` help?
~/src $ make -C build module
or in cross-platform fashion:
~/src $ cmake --build build
~/src $ cmake --build build --target foo --config Debug

I imagine it would be relatively simple to create a makefile which
navigates to a known build directory (eg: build or debug or...),
executes make there, and then changes directory back to where it was
called from.
Before I do just this, I thought it better to try leverage the open
source community - hence asking the question.
Does anyone have a script or makefile which does just this?
TIA
Steve
