Currently it allows specifying multiple build commands. What I would find
more useful is if it could allow parameter for a given action. Possibly
allowing a single action sounds more useful.

The simplest way for dev-users would be to allow arguments for each action
function.

You can pass extra_options to main(), see the docstring.

I don't think Python optparse can handle options that apply only to one of
several options.

Oh! I'll take a look. That might help, thanks.

I took another look at this, it would require actually to:

1. Manually pre-parse the command-line arguments
2. Same the parse extra command-line arguments in some global place
3. Call fabricate.main() with the stripped commands-line args
4. In the function, retrieve the extra command-line arguments.

Yes, quite a lot. So for now `python2 build.py run --some-flag --release`
is not feasable.

See : https://github.com/SimonAlfie/fabricate/pull/64

This patch updates fabricates option handling from the deprecated optparse to argparse and also fixes extended option handling so that a build script can easily extend the command line.

All the details are in the pull request, and i believe it addresses issue #54
