Ummm, I'm confused.  Is this "info needed to build/install the package", 
or "info needed to run the software"?  Those are two very different
kinds of configuration info.  The Distutils could probably do something
in both areas, but I don't think the two should be confused.  Eg. about
all we can do for run-time configuration is promote a standard place for 
Python applications to install and find such config data, whereas we can 
specify everything about build-time config data.  So which are you
talking about here?
