Thanks Philippe, I had forgotten about that one.

"../configure" is used in several places. It isn't used for "most" 
builds however and the other places where a separate build dir is used 
IIRC it is built *outside* the source tree, e.g. mkdir ../build_dir

Anyway - thanks for setting me (and the OP) straight.
