Do you use an 'out of tree' build?

1. autogen.sh --noconfigure
2. mkdir build
3. cd build
4 ../configure --disable-optimising
5. make etc. etc.

That way I can just destroy the build dir and start again without 
worrying too much about having to make clean or dist clean - at least it 
seems to be that way for me. We mention this method in the LilyPond 
Contributor Guide.
