I'm not sure that helps much, since to build the wheels, we still need to
backport all those packages. I don't think it will be acceptable to just
slide the .whl files into python3.4 since we'd still be violating the rule of
including files not built from source.

One thing we could do though is only complain if --with-pip is included.
Yeah, it's the default, but if someone explicitly calls --without-pip, it
would work (since ensurepip isn't invoked). I guess that's only marginally
better.
