Actually, rbuild currently generates some files in the source directory. I'd like
for it to generate them in the intermediate output tree instead. To do that, rbuild
needs to create the directories, not make. This will mean that you would have to pass
the ROS_INTERMEDIATE and ROS_OUTPUT variables to rbuild instead of make. A consequence
of this is that you need to run rbuild to change ROS_INTERMEDIATE and ROS_OUTPUT
locations, but this is not a big problem IMHO.

Casper This is already implemented, but make is giving
us a lot of trouble. The
semantics of the last modified time on non-FAT volumes (eg. NTFS and EXT2)
is to be updated once an entry within the directory is created or changed.
We have generated files depend on their parent directories so we can make
sure the parent directories exist before putting files in them. This,
unfortunately, causes spurious rebuilding of targets and even looping during
build. I have patched make to always use the creation time instead of the
last modified time for directories. This works, but it will unfortunately
require a custom make unless we can find another solution.
In my old bootstrap makefile I used a special target to make all directories
first. I think it's a reasonable solution.
