Hello to all.

By default, the build dir of a project is ${ROOT} and the cache dir is
${TMP}/cache.

My idea is allow user to use enviroments vars in the project. In example, I
want to use a web server, but my project isn't in a public directory.
Currently I have in config.json:

"BUILD_PATH" : ${HOME}/public_html/${APPLICATION}

But the build system doesn't understand the variable HOME (my home
directory), and I need to define it in the same config.json as /home/tenchi
(my $HOME). If other person needs to build this project, it needs to modify
the config.json to its env to change the HOME var. I don't know if it's a
good idea.

The same to the cache dir. I don't like using it in the /tmp dir, because in
my OS this dir is cleaned every reboot (and a clean rebuild takes 4 minutes
in my machine!), but I don't like using the cache in the project dir too. So
I use the dir $HOME/.qooxdoo/cache/${APPLICATION} to store the build cache.

What do you think about it? I've found a entry in the bugzilla which seems
as my idea:
