Milestone:                                      |   Component:  build system

------------------------------------------------+---------------------------
 It would be nice if the Chicken's build system had support for
         building outside of the source tree.  (For the numerous
         advantages it brings.)

         Please consider the patch attached.

         The usage is as follows:

 chicken $ mkdir /build/directory /build/directory/pcre

 chicken $ make -C /build/directory -f "$PWD"/Makefile srcdir="$PWD"
 ...MAKE-VARIABLES...

         or:

 chicken $ mkdir /build/directory /build/directory/pcre

 chicken $ cd /build/directory/

 directory $ make -f /where/is/chicken/Makefile srcdir=/where/is/chicken
 ...MAKE-VARIABLES...

         (Making the `pcre' variable is necessary unless building with
         USE_HOST_PCRE=1.)
