[higgins-dev] build output directories

We were talking on IM today about making consistent the build output directories for our projects.  We ended up wanting to do this:
 
./build/classes (holds .class files)
./build/lib (holds .jar and .war)
 
Looking closer, I think we probably also want:
./build/doc (generated doc output)
 
But back on ./build/classes.  I think we want to have the eclipse output dir just be ./build.  This is because the "Clean" target deletes stuff in the eclipse output directory. So for example, in the current sts projects, this will only clean stuff under ./build/classes.  We need Clean to clean all output.  The only potential problem I see is if we ever wanted to have a package name that starts with "lib" or "doc".
