Can't pass arguments to setup.py from a pip-requirements file

[MichaelBlume]

it'd be nice if

--install-option="--no_ext" pymongo

was a valid pip-requirements line

First, thanks for creating such a great tool!!!

I am trying to use pip to install PycURL but it requires the libcurl src directory as a parameter setup.py --curl-dir but how do I do that? Is there an --install-option="--your-option" available? Thx!

this may be a duplicate of issue #271

btw: I tried pip install --install-option="--curl-dir="c:\my\src\folder"" http://pycurl.sourceforge.net/download/pycurl-7.19.0.tar.gz but it does not work
