It's possible there's some variable which has the same effect, but I'm
not aware of it myself (and I can't find it in the docs).

Stuff like EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH is to set where executables are placed
inside the build tree e.g. /bin instead of the default (the directory
defining the target).

The default behaviour of both these is identical to autoconf+automake!
