Like I said, people debate about this :)  And of course it depends on your
application.
In my application many of our targets are generating code snippets, and it
is convenient
to have them next to the other code they need to interface with when we're
debugging them.
I do use variants, but they're targeting different machines, so I just
build each variant in-source
on the machine it is targeting.
