$(SUB_FOLDER) is just a variable in the makefile. Using the working structure above, in the makefile:

Basically, you set up the structure that you want in the file system, and you create a symbolic link from 'their' folder to 'yours'. That way you don't mess with their structure (could give you a big headache later if you don't document the changes properly).

Although your method might work, I wouldn't mess around too much with the Makefile...
