Then the word "build tool" is irrelevant, and the whole discussion of
builders vs installers is pointless, since installers in the meaning
most people use it within Python by necessity also are builders.

The point is still that pip IMO should be a tool to *install*
distributions, not *make* distributions. That's what is relevant. If
the word "builder" does not describe the too that builds distribution
then lets not use that word.
