In general, look through the makefile's for the variables (hopefully, only one, but don't count on that) that, if set, will cause the invoked commands to put their output outside the source tree. Unlike on Unix, the Windows build does not support _configuring_ from a different directory, a-la "/foo/bar/emacs/configure", so you actually must invoke "make" from the source tree's nt/ subdirectory, as usual; but maybe there's a way to force the build products to go elsewhere.
