Soo ... I think we can cope with a slightly different flow for mac and
windows (at some level this is inevitable).
* personally I'd love to get rid of 'build' - it just adds
confusion, and possible loss in my view.
Can we not make 'unpack' do one of two things:
On Windows [ and Mac? ]
* create 'rawbuild' and rsync it as/when necessary
to 'build'
On Linux
* create 'build' as a set of symlinks (a-la-rawbuild)
And then continue almost as normal ?

We could do it as part of download I guess.

Right - hopefully the symlinks make that possible, without making it
dangerous. Having said that hopefully we could get used to using "make
clean" instead - which is the normal way for most autotools packages.

I guess if macs have symlinks, this would work well too (?) though
clearly it would be even more ideal not to have symlinks - but to build
each module into a different OUTPATH, or just rely on 'make clean' to
cleanup the pieces in the tree.
So - why should we not switch the default build to happen inside a
'rawbuild' like directory ?
Thanks,
Michael.
