And it works in bdist_wheel by adding half a dozen lines. It copies the -b
argument to the 'build' subcommand, so effectively you can put the ./build/
directory wherever you want. This will probably also solve other problems
people sometimes have with 'unclean' bdist_wheel builds. As a bonus it no
longer works in Python 2.6.

+1 on Thomas' added wording.
