My preference is that intermediate build products go in a directory
somewhere (bin), but that the final build product goes in the project
root. I never did like creating a directory that contains only a
single file/dir.
My greater preference, however, is for the two build systems (f/w and
app) to put the final build product in a similar location by default,
in accordance with the Principle of Least Astonishment.
