The cost of changing the build directory is high, and has limited upsides at 
best. Some of the costs: confusing current users, breaking existing 
documentation like books, breaking build systems, incompatibility between 
python versions.

If the name of the build directory bothers you you can change it by adding two 
lines to ~/.pydistutils.cfg:

[build]
build-base = __build__
