 The difference is that debugging a broken build using the wrkdir is
 *very* common. Before I run out of time working on those things, most of
 the time I didn't even bother to extract the distfiles and build patches
 directly from the saved work directory. Like I said, every single time
 that I had to debug a problem with a successful build, I wanted to have
 a full interactive build anyway.
