yes conda is that -- but it's also open-source and can be used outside of
Anaconda. I think it makes a lot of sense to have a conda recipe in with
the package source.

May I ask what is the purpose of this directory? if it's for building,

I'm going to guess because it isn't (or wasn't) and "official" way to build
MPL. but I think it should probably go in the main source dir, alongside
setup.py -- conda is being pretty widely used these days.
