This is a Q4 goal.

it would be best to make AMO know if an add-on is a Builder one and its id there.
To provide it we would need some special key(s) created - (builder-type: bamo, there might be other 3rd party IDE), (builder-id: number). 
Builder would need to add some security check - someone could upload an add-on which would have an id from the other add-on on the Builder. We would need to check if these are the same (jid would be enough IMO)

Above would involve changes in all parts - SDK, AMO and Builder.

SDK would need to copy the manifest keys to harness or install.rdf
AMO would need to send the right add-ons with additional fields
Builder would build the new xpi from objects instead of rebuilding the existing ones.

the builder-id would actually need to be builder-version_id as we want to build xpi from the same source.
