An option, I suppose.

Rather not.

I think asking the user is some kind of overkill, we should make this
part of the option - always go to build dir, always go to install dir,
prefer build dir, prefer install dir.  In any case we have to make sure
first that implementing such an option won't violate the feature freeze.
