will pip allow me to:
a) clean source dir (remove built files, etc.; setup.py clean ...),
b) configure the program (setup.py config ...),
c) build extensions, etc., without installing them (setup.py build ...)
(in a dir I want or can easily guess, not one with a ~random name or
the same for all interpreters/versions with overwritten files),
d) test what's produced in previous step (setup.py test with a ton of hacks),
e) install already built files (setup.py install --root)
?
