Though I'll note this is also somewhat awkward -- for instance, looking 
at buildtools,I think some of those commands should be globally 
installed, and some shouldn't.  But changing that means refactoring the 
commands into two distributions; inter-distribution refactoring feels 
very heavy to me, especially for something I'd consider a UI adjustment.
