[issue1011113] Make “install” find the build_base directory

[Éric Araujo]

Éric Araujo <merwok at netwok.org> added the comment:

I’ve found a distutils commit that shows that this option was removed on purpose, because people might except that using “install -b foo” would affect the build command, but it does not.  I don’t think it’s a problem.  For people who run build and install in separate steps, it should be possible to say “build -b spam” and then “install -b spam”.
