[issue1816] sys.cmd_flags patch

[Guido van Rossum]

Guido van Rossum added the comment:

I like the idea of exposing Python's command line flags, but I think
this API is a bit odd.  I'd rather see it be a struct with members named
after the various arguments and values that are ints or bools -- or
simply a bunch of new flags directly in the sys module if making it a
string is too much work.

It also looks like the patch includes a few unrelated changes to
install.py and site.py.
