[Anthill] How do I tell Anthill what my build artifact dir is ?

[varban]

Hi Marcio,

that is fine, the only problem that I see is that the artefacts will no 
longer be available in the default location (build/artifacts) if you 
build trough AnthillOs and you have another builder that will use those 
artefacts later.
