A better method would be to allow the user to do that. For instance:
address@hidden ls
.
..
src/
test/
address@hidden mkdir build
address@hidden cd build
address@hidden ../configure
address@hidden make
... etc ...
With very few exceptions, however, I don't see the use of _not_ dirtying
up the source directories with objects and other output if proper
cleaning targets exist.
