What you suggested above IS a VPATH build. VPATH is the 'make' variable
name for using a builddir that is different from the sourcedir, and your
proposal is just about adding syntactic sugar to the ./configure command
to make a VPATH build easier to specify from the configure command line,
by naming something other than '.' as the builddir.
