Thanks,
probably symlinking should be done by default instead of downloading?
I'd assume that when someone does make projectdir from the BR directory,
they'd expect this particular BR do be used as the source for the new 
project.

In case of downloading, it's possible to download/copy current BR to 
another location manually (without projectdir) and build there.

Are there any obvious differences compared to using projectdir in this case?

What benefits does it give?

Thanks,
Val.
