I regularly build my executables in a directory below the root of the 
source, so it would be better if you could build it under this 'target' 
directory. I think this is quite close to Alex's request as well.

SVN will be able to handle it, a bundle is just a special layout of file 
and directories, just like an Archimedes !Application file as Phil said.
