Ok, I'm trying to think of how this would work for us.

The source for each of our libraries is in a separate subdirectory as you would 
expect. The subdirectory structure is:

Subdir ----- .cpp files
         |
         |-- Makefile
         |
         |-- _gnuDebug      <=== .o and .a files for Debug build
         |
         |-- _gnuRelease    <=== .o and .a files for Release build

Would you call that an out-of-source build, or would you require the Makefile 
to be in a 'Build' subdirectory below the source?

Or, would you really like to see the build files somewhere to the side of the 
source files?

Best regards

David
