Probably not. Where would a non-subdir /tmp/bar go? We should eventually
support using an obj tree union-mounted over the source tree and build in
".", but its not clear that that should be the default -- there can be
only one obj tree at a time.
Symlinked source trees may have worked better before obrien removed $PWD
support.
