PROPOSAL: Seperate *.class files from *.java files in build

I would like to change the build files for MDR so that the classfiles 
get dumped into a seperate directory hierarchy from the source files 
during compilation. I realize that inside of NetBeans this isn't 
necessary because NetBeans hides the classfiles from you. But, I am 
working with MDR on computers that can't have NetBeans installed on them 
for a variety of reasons (old, slow, crappy home computer; 
administrative rules). And, when not using NetBeans the classfiles are 
continuously in my way in directory browsers and with my CVS client.

What do you think? If it is okay I can submit a patch. But, I don't 
write a patch that won't be accepted because I don't want to have to 
maintain a completely seperate build.xml from the one everybody else is 
using.

Thanks,
Brian
