By default, MSVC stores all object files in the same intermediate
directory. It's possible to tell it to use a different-than-default .obj
filename for a file, though. It might also be possible to tell it to
build a tree in the intermediate directory, but I'd have to look that
up.

With the make-based system, we store the .o files in the same directory
as the source file. (Or in the same tree with a different root.)
