My 2 rubles:

I was an in-source addict some time ago :).
But now when I started regularly building of kde modules I became used to 
out-of-source builds instead. And I found them very convenient.
IMO it is nice to have object files in separate directories: it keeps source 
tree clean (which is essential for me as I run "tar -xzf 
kde{libs,base,games}...." quite often) and it turns "delete all & prepare for 
rebuild" process to a simple "rm -rf builddir".

Well, in fact everyone knows about these goddies, yeah?
So I am writing this just to tell that people who are used to in-source build 
will probably find out-of-source-builds to be cooler. After some practising 
maybe ;).

Cheers, Dmitry.
