"setup.py build -b {dirname} bdist" will first run the build command (and
its sub commands build_*) then invoke the bdist command. When bdist
requests build to be executed, distutils will see that it is already run
and simply continue on. Even if a reinit is requested (for build), the
supplied options will be applied again when the build command is finalized
prior to running.
