I would be quite happy with something along the lines of this proposal,
though I'd bikeshed about some of the details. I like the idea of the
source tree having a single reference to the build tool, and the build tool
describing itself to pip. I'd probably use references to Python
functions/modules rather than specifying shell-style commands, though; it
seems like there's less to go wrong that way.
