Officially support more typical CMake build folder position #265

mkdir ../Retro68-build needlessly clutters up my ~/src/read-only folder by breaking the "one folder, one project" rule unless I add an extra layer of nesting to paths that can already get awkwardly long, so I decided to go for this more typical-for-CMake-projects layout instead:

cd /path/to/checkout/of/Retro68
mkdir build
cd build
../build-toolchain.bash

It seems to work fine for me. Could it be an officially supported option and noted as such in the README?

Yes, there is no reason any more why one shouldn't use a standard layout.
