On Windows, force the output directories to be src/build/{Debug,Release}.

On Windows, force the output directories to be src/build/{Debug,Release}.

This allows develoeprs to build from any sln file and not have to rebuild the
world.  This is more like how XCode projects are generated.

We choose src/build/{Debug,Release} because this is where all.sln generates
files and this is what the bots use.  This shouldn't require any changes to
the bots.

This works for me, but I'd be curious what you guys think.  Before landing, I
would need to send an email to chromium-dev and update some of our
dev.chromium.org documentation.

[bradn, 2011-09-02 22:55:11]

I think that might be good to do, but:

1. You'll want to communicate your intentions widely, as it may confuse people.
2. You'll want to land it with the expectation we may need to revert if
something pops up that still depends on the old location.

That said, I'm glad its easy to change!

LGTM

I know of at least one place that depends on the old location:
new-run-webkit-tests looks for DumpRenderTree.exe in src/webkit, then
src/chrome.  I guess we would remove those and just have src/build.

Don't we set the output dir on the bots for this?

[nsylvain, 2011-09-02 23:09:27]

this will also require changes on the bot.

Right now we assume that if you load webkit.sln, you'll have the output in
src/webkit/release.

Ah, right.  I will update new-run-webkit-tests first: have it look in src/build,
then src/webkit, then src/chrome. After this patch lands I can have it look in
only src/build.

Oh, and I need to update the bots.  OK, I'll see if I can write a patch for that
too.
