Hum, why? Building in output/build/<pkgname>-<pkgversion>/ is already
what we do today.

Hum? I didn't suggest a host/ part. My proposal, in terms of build
directories, do not change anything compared to what we have today:

	output/build/host-foo-1.0/ for the host version of package foo
	output/build/foo-1.0/ for the target version of package foo

That's what we do today.

> 2) it would avoid confusion in the case we somday include a utility named "host"

It would be:

	output/build/host-host-4.2/
	output/build/host-4.2/

But that's the same thing today. I am not sure there is an upstream
project called simply "host", so at this point, I don't see the need to
change the naming of those directories.

Thanks!

Thomas
