oh, that's definitely close enough.

that's what you get for reading the docs instead of trying
every combination of the available options ;-)

(maybe someone who knows a little more about distutils
could take an hour and add brief overviews of all standard
commands to the reference section(s)?  just having a list
of all commands and command options would have helped
me, for sure...)
