S=work/foo-1.2-r0/foo-1.2/
B=work/foo-1.2-r0/build-foo-1.2

All generated stuff (makefiles, objects, binaries, etc) will end up in B 
so that S stays clean.

I'd like out-of-tree builds to be the default for autotools and cmake, 
but there are way too many broken autofoo and cmake using packages out 
there :(
