It would certainly suit me. E.g. I have Altera's Qsys calling on the 
Python module to generate a tailored version. Now the Python module has 
to remove any existing target and copy/rename/move (using os.rename()) 
the generated file into the correct place. Having an in-place generation 
would certainly be nice. A second plus: the local generated V*-file 
would corroborate with the 'development parameters' as it will no longer 
be overwritten.
