Patch from Rene Liebscher: this adds "--help-foo" options to list the
values that "--foo" can take for various commands: eg. what formats for "sdist" and "bdist", what compilers for "build_ext" and "build_clib". I have *not* reviewed this patch; I'm checking it in as-is because it also fixes a paper-bag-over-head bug in bdist.py, and because I won't have time to review it properly for several days: so someone else can test it for me, instead!
