Well, I'll take my victories where I can get them. :D Less pip in build recipes is always a good thing.

Maybe when I complete the work on a PEP 517 build backend inside Meson, I can just contribute meson.build files for all PyPA core infrastructure, and then you can switch to the meson build style... since Meson includes both a builder and an installer. :D 

(The eventual goal is that Meson itself is built via a custom recipe to do `./meson.py setup builddir && DESTDIR=${DESTDIR} ./meson.py install -C builddir/` and still provides all the same metadata that setuptools or flit or `$build_tool_of_the_day` provides. Zero dependencies.)
