This makes a heck of a lot of sense to me... ( an unofficial +1 I guess :)

Subject: [Tomcat 4.0] Proposed Change in Build Scripts
> There is movement in the various Jakarta subprojects towards modifying
> build scripts so that "build" and "dist" targets are created *within*
> the top-level source directory, rather than "up and over" the way they
> are now. For Tomcat 4.0, that would mean you'd end up with the
> following directory structure:
>
> jakarta-tomcat-4.0
> build/ <-- Build destination for Tomcat
> dist/ <-- Dist destinatino for Tomcat
> catalina/
> build/ <-- Build destination for Catalina portion
>
> dist/ <-- Dist destination for Catalina portion
>
> (and so on for other subdirectories).
>
> When executing the Tomcat you just built, the only difference is that
> you would set CATALINA_HOME to point at "jakarta-tomcat-4.0/build" or
> "jakarta-tomcat-4.0/dist" instead of "../build/tomcat-4.0" or
> "../dist/tomcat-4.0".
>
> I propose to change all of the build scripts (and associated README
> files) to reflect this new structure, in time for the next beta release.
