This wasn't quite the idea. I wanted to make per-configuration the
only place to specify custom buildtools, so no top level support at
all.

This should be using the same location as default buildtools, e.g.
fecher.unpack(buildtools_download_dir). So it's consistent, if someone
is expecting to find the buildtools archive there.
