I cannot figure out the defaults for DESTDIR.  Where is it?

Building in /usr/src, no -O, -M, -R, -D:

  /usr/obj
  /usr/obj/tools
  /usr/obj/release

Building in /home/current/src, still:

  /usr/obj
  /usr/obj/tools
  /usr/obj/release

I'd really prefer a default of:

  /home/current/obj
  /home/current/tools
  /home/current/release

Others probably have other preferences.

I think we need to understand it, document it, figure out how releng 
actually uses it, and then worry about simplifying.
