Since some time(a very little one) the build directory can be distinct from 
the source one; wouldn't this feature be fine for this purpose, with two 
different build dirs?

For users(Ingo knows this, obviously): note that this is not true with patch: 
when you patch one tree, the other tree remains unpatched. This happens since 
patch doesn't modify a file, but replaces it with another file(which is no 
more an hard link) containing the new version.
