Careful rethink of command options, distribution options, distribution   attributes, etc.  Biggest change was to the Distribution constructor   -- it now looks for an 'options' attribute, which contains values   (options) that are explicitly farmed out to the commands.  Also,   certain options supplied to Distribution (ie. in the 'setup()' call in   setup.py) are now "command option aliases", meaning they are dropped   right into a certain command rather than being distribution options.   This is handled by a new Distribution class attribute,   'alias_options'. Various comment changes to reflect the new way-of-thinking. Added 'get_command_name()' method to Command -- was assuming its   existence all along as 'command_name()', so changed the code that   needs it to call 'get_command_name()'.
