Pip install has the --install-option and --global-option arguments, try your luck with them - they are for fairly advanced usecases. Pip already passes other options so there's risk of breakages or weird issues if you pass conflicting options.
Setuptools also supports the standard setup.cfg mechanism. That may be an easier alternative. Paul
