I decided to tackle the harder solution: making out-of-tree builds automatic.
The patches are lighter and I've separated them out into discrete changes. My
only
concern is I needed to touch the Gyp generator for Makefiles to make this
possible
(Gyp's messing with relative paths everywhere prevents out-of-tree otherwise).
That said I'm very pleased with the result. I've tested builds both in source
and
out-of-tree and nothing has gone amiss so far, so I'd like the patches to get
some
wider testing.

Combined, these patches add support for automatic detection of out-of-tree build
conditions. To use it simply create the out-of-tree build directory, make it the
current working directory, and call the project's configure script using a
relative
path. E.g:
$ pwd
/projects/test/dep/node
$ mkdir -p /projects/test/build/dep/node
$ cd ../../build/dep/node
$ ../../../dep/node/configure
The Gyp and Make configs will be written to the current working directory along
with the top-level Makefile. Other files will be written into appropriate
sub-directories under the ./out/ directory.
$ ls
config.gypi config.mk Makefile out
$ ls out/
deps node_dtrace_header.target.mk node_dtrace_ustack.target.mk
node_js2c.host.mk node_systemtap_header.target.mk
Makefile node_dtrace_provider.target.mk node_etw.target.mk
node_perfctr.target.mk node.target.mk
