While we're on the subject of imake....

It would be absolutely wonderful if the current build configuration
could support a macro which support placing the binaries created by the
build process into another tree.  

This would *significantly* help us that support X on several OS's at the
same time.  (from a single source tree due to disk space constraints..)

Currently I have to "clean" various directories each time I install new
patches to both mit and contrib sources.  

I confess (obviously to some :-) that I haven't spent much time
investigating the feasability of this yet.  I will.

Have others run into this as well?
