My thought is #2 by creating a subclass and overriding these two functions:
* ACTION_build -- use the notes() method to save the install path in
effect at compile time
* ACTION_install -- check if the install destination has changed and
rebuild if it has
The main ACTION_install already depends on 'build', so all your
override of ACTION_install may need to do is to call
$self->depends_on("clean") if the path has changed and then call the
superclass method. (N.B. I haven't actually tried this approach.)
