Strong NAK from me. Building inside the source directory is the standard 
procedure for most software packages, and it makes development easier 
because I don't have to switch directories to examine generated files.

Building out-of-tree may have some merits in special cases, but 
demanding it as the only way is not good.

I do not see how this helps - broken dependencies in Makefiles will 
cause trouble either way.
