RDM> 'build' is pretty much universally understood to be something that can be blown away

That's not true anymore in 2012. Why follow the bad practice?

I also want to know what open source software project are you referring to. From my experience 'build' directory name is an ancient legacy from Unix C compilers of previous century. Java doesn't use it, MSVC never did it, CMake doesn't have it, Go seems to build everything in temp dir.
