Mostly because BUILD will continue to imply the three steps it currently
does and I want to avoid confusion, I personally could care less what
they are called. The initial draft of the solution was to use a different
set of names in order to allow cast to figure out what to do (if compile
or install exists do the new thing, if build exists, do the old thing).
