The current behavior seems to be:
webkit-build-directory -> WebKitBuild/Release
webkit-build-directory --debug -> WebKitBuild/Debug
webkit-build-directory --base -> WebKitBuild

I’m basically suggesting that we do the following:
webkit-build-directory -> error, need to specify which directory you want.
webkit-build-directory --configuration-build-directory -> WebKitBuild/Release
webkit-build-directory --configuration-build-directory --debug ->
WebKitBuild/Debug
webkit-build-directory --base-build-directory -> WebKitBuild

I don’t think that it is intuitive for a script named webkit-build-directory to
default to giving you the per-configuration build directory.  Making it
explicit which directory is being requested is much clearer.  The option names
I suggested may be a little verbose.  I just picked the most literal names
possible.
