If it is easy enough I find it useful.

The reasons are the same why I like in-source-tree-builds. I have everything
on the same place, no need to <tab>-complete source directory and
<tab>-complete different output directory and still dealing with two
directories while editing sources and checking their output.

This is useful only when running single file by "runtest x/y.exp".
In some batch parallel mode I sure do not mind where the output files end up.

Thanks,
