should test the target or sources if its action should only apply to some
subset of build targets or source files.
Build hooks can alter construction variable values for a particular build
operation. Build hooks can also register new build targets.
The `build_op` parameter to the build hook block is a Hash describing the
build operation with the following keys:
* `:builder` - `Builder` instance in use

#### Build Hooks
Environments can have build hooks which are added with `env.add_build_hook()`.
Build hooks are invoked immediately before a builder executes.
Build hooks can modify the construction variables in use for the build
operation.
They can also register new build targets.
Environments can also have post-build hooks added with `env.add_post_build_hook()`.
Post-build hooks are only invoked if the build operation was a success.
Post-build hooks can invoke commands using the newly-built files, or register
new build targets.
### Construction Variable Naming
