Output/Obj/[Mode]/[ProductVariation]/[Module]/[executable]

For example,

Output/Obj/DEBUG /Product1/app /*.obj
/plugin1/*.obj
/RELEASE/Product1/app /*.obj
/plugin1/*.obj
/Product2/app /*.obj

The purpose of the structure is for perfect cleaning so I can initialize 
all debug builds by executing "rm -r Output/Obj/Debug" without any doubt. 

The "build-dir some-path" doesn't work because I cannot specify the 
output path structure as described above. (Correct?)

Since it's just for cleaning matter, it's OK to put directory structure 
under the leaf such as:

project : build-dir Output/Obj/[mode]/Product1/app ;

--> Output/Obj/DEBUG/Product1/app/bin/msvc-8.0/debug/
--> Output/Obj/RELEASE/Product1/app/bin/msvc-8.0/release/

But build-dir still has to be changed based on 'mode'.

I think it works. I will try. 

Thank you.
