Dear Roger,

thank you very much for implementing the feature.  I find your solution
very elegant.

As you can see on the following extract, much of the repetitive part of some
diffs could be removed if BUILDDIR would also mask the package name and
version:

-make[3]: Leaving directory `BUILDDIR/samtools-0.1.14'
-make[3]: Entering directory `BUILDDIR/samtools-0.1.14/bcftools'
+make[3]: Leaving directory `/«BUILDDIR»/samtools-0.1.15'
+make[3]: Entering directory `/«BUILDDIR»/samtools-0.1.15/bcftools'
 make[3]: Nothing to be done for `lib'.
-make[3]: Leaving directory `BUILDDIR/samtools-0.1.14/bcftools'
-make[3]: Entering directory `BUILDDIR/samtools-0.1.14/misc'
+make[3]: Leaving directory `/«BUILDDIR»/samtools-0.1.15/bcftools'
+make[3]: Entering directory `/«BUILDDIR»/samtools-0.1.15/misc'
 make[3]: Nothing to be done for `lib'.

Do you think it would be possible to extend BUILDDIR one level down in the path ?

Have a nice day,
