4. The point of all this is that the definition of build_directory<br>
says "If build_directory is None, the backend may do an 'in place'<br>
build which modifies the source directory and may produce different<br>
results from those that would be obtained by exporting an sdist<br>
first".<br>

Is it really necessary for pip to specify exactly *where* to do<br>
an out-of-place build? Why should it care, as long as the end<br>
result is a clean wheel?<br>
