Which is about five times as long as 'make'.
I'm not sure what the problem would be with a Makefile in the source
tree that just calls make in the build directory? It's convenient and
doesn't hurt anyone who prefers to work directly in the build directory.

Well, not allowing in-tree builds is an odd non-standardism, too, so I
think some more non-standardisms to make it more bearable wouldn't be
too bad.
