There's a good reason why all libraries come with their build scripts, rather then rely on the client to build them as necessary. The reason is that the source code is where the necessary building conditions are defined, even if as a separate file. You can't write anything more, then a 100 LOC source file without having to make a build script. The source files in a project heavily depend on the build script to produce the correct result. This is why I don't see any reason why building process should be separated from the source code.

I don't think it's right to add a build tool to the compiler. There can be a standard built tool even if it's not in the compiler.
