One of the many possible things the "build.sh" script can do is
_build_ a module/component item. Apart from that one operation it can
perform dozens of other operations on every module/component item,
none of which constitute building. If I perform the following:

$ util/modular/build.sh $PREFIX --cmd "git pull"

Would you consider it an example of having built every
module/component? It isn't strictly correct anymore to say the only
thing build.sh can do is build items. "can only be processed" is a
more general and correct phrase to explain the operation of build.sh.

Although, since it's not strictly a spelling correction, the two
should probably be submitted as separate patches.
