I'd rather have more, smaller tools than bigger tools with confusing modes.

Maybe that's it. It's not clear to me how to fit together the 
torch+torch+torch+pyro model with what Melt does today. If it's all 
input into a set of targets that coordinates it all, maybe that works. 
That's not something the targets really do today (apart from the whole 
loc thing).

But even then, I assume the targets would still wrap executables, so 
getting that right is a good thing.
