[issue8254] write a configure command

[Jeremy Kloth]

Jeremy Kloth <jeremy.kloth at gmail.com> added the comment:

How would the build or install command get the options in this case:

python setup.py configure --prefix=$HOME build install

Remember that commands can be chained (and that commands can run other commands).  I would like to be able to do (and can do right now):

python setup.py install

and have both `configure` and `build` be run with their defaults.
