The latter. We need the building-block tools (torch, pyro) but can build 
tasks and targets on top of them.

I'm not talking about having MSBuild replace patch authoring. There's 
too much there to do it all in the project. That could be an option for 
a high-level, limited-scope kind of patching (i.e., no filtering). 
Before that, we need tasks and targets that drive "normal" patching.
