Well, as it turns out, it doesn't exactly work as a build from a
separate directory should work: The benchmark tests and the HTML page
are still created in the source directory!  This must not happen.
Everything must be created in the build directory (except the output
of `./autogen.sh`, but this is not related to your work).

For fixing this I suggest to use two different (Unix) users: one for
testing, and one for modifying the source code, and the former has no
write access to the latter.  You can then immediately identify where
`make baseline` and friends try to write to the source directory.

Some other remarks.

* I'm a bit unhappy about

  ```
  Creating baseline...
  ```

  as the only information while the computer churns and grinds, so to
  say, for some time.  I would rather like to see

  ```
  Creating baseline
    foo
    bar
    ...
  Baseline created
  ```

  or something similar.  An alternative (or addition) is to show a
  percentage of how many fonts have been processed already.

* Please add links to the original baseline and benchmark `.txt`
  files; they contain much more information than displayed on the HTML
  page.
