[Distutils] Unsetting something from distutils.cfg

[Tarek Ziade]

I don't think you can unset a value. You can override it from the
command line though

$ python setup.py install --prefix=xxx

But if you need to ignore the "prefix" option, I think you need to
write your own install
command to override this behavior.
