Tools: Feature request: select the name of the output build directory

[rictic]

So instead of build/${name} it would be ${buildDirName}/${name}

If we do add this we should also handle building into a directory N levels deep, including N=0 aka the cwd/project root.

We could rename buildDirName to buildDir and support configuration as a path (relative to root). So build/, dist/, and dist/deep/build/ would all work. And . could represent root.

We also should support out dirs for each individual build though, something @keanulee was asking for. So one project-level setting and one build-level.

Any news?

This would go a long way, as we have customized builds of the same application for different customers. Currently every build flavour needs to be a separate app, that pulls in the source as a dependency, which make it difficult to build every flavour.

any update ?

FWIW, we use Maven as our build orchestrator tool of choice, and ideally, we'd point polymer to the 'target' directory so it's automatically cleaned up with maven clean.
