Load `*.sublime-build` files from my project workspace #1641

Load *.sublime-build files from my project workspace

  1. Explain briefly what the enhancement is and why you think it would be useful.

This is useful for big projects to split across several .sublime-build files the several build systems a project may have. Currently you can create on big file at your .sublime-project within all build systems all together.

  1. Provide any other necessary or useful information regarding your issue, such as (code) examples or related links.

The initial custom build support on .sublime-project files was requested on:

  1. $2270 - Project-specific build systems?

Now it would allow build systems .sublime-build to be written across the project files. For example, if I write a file called make.sublime-build inside my project, Sublime Text would load that build system specification and allow the user to choose it when building a project by going on Tools -> Build With... (Ctrl+Shift+B).

Just for the record, how many build systems are we talking about and why do you need this many? It just seems to me that ST's build systems are not the proper tool for this job.

I faced this problem on a project with git submodules. I wanted to not write, therefore hide from the main project how the submodule is built by sublime-build. So not changing the parent project .sublime-project build systems list, adding the submodule build system. So it would be basically one sublime-build per git submodule.

Basically would be allowing to slit the .sublime-build embedded on the .sublime-project their own files written on .sublime-build. This is somehow related to:

  1. #1643 _ How to add multiple build systems in a single file, as on the project file?
