Bug Description
BeatBox's executable should be in /build, not /build/src. This is how other elementary apps are setup and it save dev's from the hassle of cd'ing up and down to compile and test things. I have rewritten the CMake system to do this and have simplified it a little too. See referenced branch.

And I consider this as a bug, elementary apps with a good setup have it
in src/

It doesn't change anything ? between cd build && src/beatbox and cd
build && ./beatbox, you win two characters... and a lot of inconsistency:
Currently beatbox has only one binary, in the folder src/. But it will
get some libs, that we'll put in lib/. We won't put them as the root, it
would be messy. And we also may create more executable, if we want a
dbus server, or some unit test thing. So, each binary in it dir, putting
everything at the root is extremely messy.
