[issue13157] Build Python outside the source directory

[Éric Araujo]

Éric Araujo <merwok at netwok.org> added the comment:

Building outside of the source directory was supported, if the source directory was clean.  In practice, the source directory could be unclean as long as a few files were not there (Parser/*.o, Modules/_testembed), so it was quite annoying.  If the patch allows people to build inside the source directory and in other directories without cleaning, I’m +1!
