Clearly we aren't, otherwise I wouldn't be so confused :-)

In platforms/win32/build. This is the proto-location and one can either
build things in there or not. I choose to keep things separate but it's
a choice I am making for my build setups. Others can make other choices.

I'm not sure what we are talking about. There appears to be an immense
enthusiasm about the fact that - Lo and behold! - VMMaker can generate
sources in different locations. What an amazing new insight :-)
Is this simply about checking the generated sources into SVN? Or the
build setups? If so, let's just do that and get over it. It's a trivial
little thing to do and really doesn't warrant this lengthy discussion.
If not, then I'm still completely unclear what this discussion is
supposedly about.
Cheers,
