# these, i.e. how to make it so fancy_getopt can suck them off the
# command line and make it look like setup.py defined the appropriate
# lists of tuples of what-have-you.
# - each command needs a callback to process its command-line options
# - Command.__init__() needs access to its share of the whole
# command line (must ultimately come from
# Distribution.parse_command_line())
# - it then calls the current command class' option-parsing
# callback to deal with weird options like -D, which have to
# parse the option text and churn out some custom data
# structure
# - that data structure (in this case, a list of 2-tuples)
# will then be present in the command object by the time
# we get to finalize_options() (i.e. the constructor
# takes care of both command-line and client options
# in between initialize_options() and finalize_options())
