What's with the *.svn here? This is an independent directory.

No, that's no good. This has to be a directory right out of the
source AND build trees (so it doesn't get blown away).
Ideally, this would be a non-existent directory, which if created
and contained certain files would override and manage the
configuration. Exactly how to do that I don't know. Example:
HOST_CC='gcc'
TARGET_CXX='gxx -fopenmp -g'
SDL_HEADER_DIR='/usr/lib/sdl-1.2.3/include'

Sounds right.
BTW: dirnames like build.svn aren't so hot, they confuse Windows.
Also, thinking of a tarball, the .svn is inappropriate anyhow.
