Use $config{build_file} instead of $target{build_file}
If the user specifies an alternative build file than the default, this
alternative is recorded in $config{build_file}, not $target{build_file}.
Therefore, the former should be used, leaving the latter as a mere default.
This is a bug. While fixing it, document it better too.
