Well, you do not need to modify PTXdist itself, unless there is a bug
somewhere...
But having to install it (or any such build tool in general) is
something Rob Landley whined about two decades ago and it is one of
those rare opinions I agree with him. However I'm unable to find
his post anymore, so I cannot properly quote him.
PTXdist already checks if it is build at each run, so actually builing
it is not that hard. I remember we discussed it few times on the IRC,
but there was never a conclusion. Parhaps we can discuss it now?
