Description Frank Schönheit 2011-01-26 07:36:10 UTC 
One idea in the new GNU build system is that no output modules exist in the
source tree. Instead, all output is generated into a dedicated workdir in solenv.

However, when doing a "build --all/--from --html", then build.pl (or some
subordinate step) still creates a $OUTPATH folder in the migrated source
modules. The only content therein is $OUTPATH/misc/log/*.log - the files where
build.pl stores the log files when invoked with the --html switch.

For consistency reasons, and to continue to keep the source tree clean, build.pl
should generate its logs into workdir, too.

This is likely solenv/bin/mkout.pl which seems to be called unconditionally on
every module. mkout also exists with a very obscure error message when there is
no d.lst in the module, which is another good reason to get rid of it for
migrated modules.
