what should happen when there is a directory named 'build' in the

broken" makes me think sepukku is the best choice if(-d "Build").
That sounds reasonable to me - being one of those souls who's quite
happy working with those filesystems you seem to hate so much :-)
This would then tie into the question of whether `./Build dist` on a
real computer should ruin my day by mentioning the sad fact that
90% of
the world believes A is a. Printing similarly depressing facts about
the ozone layer, war, and the popularity of game shows for the
statistically ignorant would of course be optional.
