ISTM (whether this is the actual intent or not) that this would be handy to differentiate between the dependencies needed when installing from a wheel vs. an sdist. Daniel's example of setup_requires including cython suggests to me that a wheel would include the compiled output and cython is not required in that case. I don't personally have a use case for this right now, though it does seem like it has potential to refer to a Python package that acts as a front-end for a compiler (and perhaps downloader/installer... hmm...)
