I have no real comment because I don't know the python-build-system well
enough. Is the sentence about 'install' no longer accurate?

The python-build-system uses the build and the install phase, but not
the configure phase. So the old comment was plain wrong. I assume once
only the install phase was used[*] and the comment has had been correct :-)

Which is possible and much like running "make install" without prior run
to "make".

Indeed, I think this has been the case since commit
b191f88ee34576a6908b9b5e94cb7664e88c7e79.

Note however that Mark reverted this patch from master because it would
have caused a rebuild of all things Python.  However feel free to apply
it to wip-python-build-system.

Thanks,
Ludo’.
