This is what Tarek told me and what I thought I said two messages earlier.

See http://bitbucket.org/Merwok/distutils2-configure/src/tip/src/distutils2/dist.py#cl-363 and line 384. Nothing to change in the commands, just make Distribution pick values from the cache file at the right time (after regular config files and before command-line options).
