One more question: I think it's nicer to add CFLAGS_NODIST to 'renamed_variables' in Lib/sysconfig.py:265: renamed_variables = ('CFLAGS', 'CFLAGS_NODIST', 'LDFLAGS', 'CPPFLAGS') That way it's possible to look up CFLAGS_NODIST directly. For consistency, we can do the same for Lib/distutils/sysconfig.py, where the variable would be purely informational.
