ah, I see. interesting. I admit my initial reaction to "quack like a setup.py" alternative build systems is that it sounds invasive and sneaky, and I want it to be explicit and overt, like it will be in metadata 2.X. but on the other hand, I hear you about wanting to see alternatives have some way to get off the ground now.
