Could you clarify what you mean by this? I'm not sure what awareness of d2to1 is needed (I assume you're talking about the PyPI package here). Ignoring a whole lot of unpleasant details, pip's interface for building wheels is roughly '"python setup.py bdist_wheel" needs to work'. Any build system you like can implement that... (Of course the details are why you said "I know pip doesn't need the whole setuptools feature set to generate wheels, but I don't know what subset it actually uses", I understand that...)
