As Emilian noted, not sure if we need another directory. Maybe we could
just have a few special targets in nbbuild/build.xml, that would delegate
to appropriate Makefiles.

Yes.

Overall, I think there are two important things:
-folks building NetBeans shouldn't need to have a C/C++ compiler installed
-NetBeans builds should be multi-platform (so that doing a build on Linux
gets a binary that can run on Windows)

There are only very few native components, so overall, this should be
doable.

Traditionally, we had the launchers checked-in directly in the repository,
but that's not allowed in ASF. Hence the idea with releasing launchers
separately. But if there's a better solution, I'm for it.
