The functionality of the build tool should absolutly be built as a 
library, then creating a thin wrapper around the library which will be 
the actual tool the user invokes. This will allow to have the build tool 
built into an IDE or similar.

Have a look at Orbit, the install command for example:

Just two lines to do the invoke the installer (which could be one line).
