That is still not a reason to ruin current spell arch.
And you took pretty wrong priorities, by not starting with webplace,
updated iso, etc. It's not what would really change the future.

That is not about pipes, but about separation of BUILD PROCESS' STAGES
and understanding of it by users and developers like:

1. collecting info (urls, dependencies, etc.)
2. configure, make
3. make install
4. final message/additional info
5. trigger something

with pre-/-post sub-stages for every step.

They were not meant to be pipe-ing anything. UNIX philosophy here
applies as that every stage happens in its own file. And yes, files
can't operate alone, because it becomes senseless: variables containing
dependencies and spell info are used where needed to configure
and compile a program! Nothing more or less.
