To facilitate cross-compiling environments, it would be nice if we had something like
{{{ perl Configure.pl --builddir=/foo/build }}}

See http://lists.parrot.org/pipermail/parrot-dev/2010-March/003992.html for more details.

This feature would greatly help in porting Parrot to Embedded Linux distros as well as RTEMS.
