separate build dir from project source dir for autoconf projects
----------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: CBUILDS-39
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/CBUILDS-39
             Project: Mojo C Builds
          Issue Type: New Feature
            Reporter: Lee Thompson


If the source is from tarball, or checked in with the POM, the autoconf build 
directory should be separated from the source directory.  This makes it easier 
to develop patches and to distinguish between generated files and human 
editable source files.

An example bash script for expat would look like this...

$ tar xzf expat-1.95.8-src.tar.gz
$ mkdir builddir
$ cd builddir
$ ../expat-1.95.8/configure --prefix /tmp/junk
$ make && make install
