[Dune] creating dune applications outside dune source tree?

[Matteo Semplice]

Hi.
Is it possible to create a dune project outside of the dune source tree?
Remark 2.1 in dunebuildsystem Howto suggests me a negative answer, but 
this is quite important to me: of course I can do what while I work on 
my pc, but in the long run I will have to compile/run dune applications 
on departmental machines, where sources will not be left on disc...

In particular, I installed dune (with prefix set to my home directory).
If I call duneproject from the base dune source directory (the one with 
dune-common, dune-grid, etc subdirs), everything works fine.
On the other hand, if I go to another location in the filesystem:

1) running
     $duneproject
from the shell (which calls the installed $HOME/bin/duneproject) does 
not find dune modules. It does work if I make the call
     $DUNE_CONTROL_PATH=$HOME/lib/dunecontrol/ duneproject
I can live with this, even if it is a bit odd: after all the duneproject 
directory was put there by "dunecontrol make install" so I would guess 
that $HOME/bin/duneproject should know about it...

2) most importantly, I created a module (depending on dune-common and 
dune-grid), changed to the directory holdin the module and followed 
README instructions calling dunecontrol

Any tip is appreciated...
