Hi, this patch adds proper support for -o option to the idea.sh script, which allows to place the .idea folder under any given output folder (not necessarily the JDK root). To be able to do this, I had to revampo the logic for template substitution in idea.sh, as it was growing too brittle. I now have a much more declarative logic, where replacements can be added by calling the add_replacement function. This allows to replace a lot of the previous code with very simple and self-explanatory calls to that routine. This piece was necessary, as we needed to replace a lot of references to the idea variable $PROJECT_DIR with the new template variable ###ROOT_DIR### (otherwise the project is ill-formed, since $PROJECT_DIR merely points at the folder containing the .idea project folder).
