A VPATH build is when you compile in a directory other than the source
directory. This is useful when you want to compile a package for
different configurations but from a common source. The name stems
from the fact that it is implemented using the VPATH variable of make.

I only about VPATH builds and 'normal' builds where the object files
end up in the same directory as the source.
