[haiku-development] question on planned build system feature -- 'generated' folder naming scheme

I'm seriously considering modifying the build system , specifically
how the generated folder is handled.

There are two distinct features planned :

1st, I'd like to allow a configure argument to override the default
location of 'generated/'
eg  ./configure --generated-dir /somePath/generated-x86-gcc4
( or maybe just /somePath and use the 2nd idea for determining the
actual generated folder name )

2nd,  As default,  use the target platform name and gcc version as
part of the name for generated.
eg:
  generated-x86-gcc2
  generated-x86-gcc4
  generated-ppc-gcc4
  generated-m68k-gcc4

Comments, suggestions?
If done properly, could this be committed ?
