Specifying the name of a module at command line

[David Cournapeau]

Hi,

I noticed that the cythonize distutils helpers allow for a module name to be taken from the extension name instead of the filename, e.g. Extension("foo", source=["_bar.pyx"]) will produce an extension called foo.

Would it be possible to add this option to the command line interface, e.g. cython --modname=foo _bar.pyx ? This would make integration with 3rd party tools easier I think.
