Fair enough.

Yeah I get it, good points.

This does mean that bp_prefix topic *can* also be tied down
with this other directory prefix as a form of 'builder' for
integration. Making the prefix configurable would make sense
then only if also making the directory prefix should be
configurable.

I think we're better off right now with just supporting two
approaches with their own directory prefix, and prefixes
for variables.
