Not sure where you got vcs from. The point here is that a buildsystem
should put diffrent builds in diffrent build directories. So that the
debug variant of your project ends up in for example, build/debug, and
profiling variant ends up in build/profile. That way you don't have to
recompile the whole project every time you switch between the variants
and thus saving precious time at the expense of cheap hdd space.
