Add back ability to save hex file in project directory

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What change would like to see?

Add an option to save compiled hex file to project directory.

Why?

For situations where the Arduino IDE is used to compile the code, but some 
other means is used to get the compiled code to an AVR core. In my case, remote 
flashing over Ethernet. It's time consuming nad annoying to hunt down the hex 
file in temp folders. This has also been requested by many in the forum: 
http://arduino.cc/forum/index.php/topic,57121.msg416548.html#msg416548

Would this cause any incompatibilities with previous versions?  If so, how
can these be mitigated?

From what I understand, the move of pushing the hex file to temp files was 
cross-platform compatibility. I'm not asking to stop this, just add a 
configuration option to also save a copy to the project directory. That 
shouldn't break anything, right?
