I recall that the gcc build instructions strongly warn against that
sort of setup. Maybe we should too?
Actually, our build instructions already say this specifically:
You can also run configure in a directory outside the source tree, and
then build there, if you want to keep the build directory separate
from the original source files. This procedure is called a VPATH
build ...
Maybe "outside the source tree" needs to be emphasized a bit more.
