Of course I will do it however you guys decide, but

is far better to warn about potential problems when reusing a source tree

You guys think about it and let me know. I would change the *mandate* of
the out-or-source requirement to a *WARNING* so that the build can proceed,
but the builder is aware that if he is not building from a clean source,
then unforeseen problems can arise. Something like:

I recommend you to try to comply with out-of-source requirement. Otherwise,
you will be on your own, I will refuse to debug problems generated by
in-source mode. Trinity build system is *very* complicated, with a lot
generated files, which can interfere with sources in many unexpected ways.
