Display a help message.
Display the SIP version number.
The version number of the ABI implemented by the sip module is MAJOR.MINOR. If only the major version number is specified then the latest minor version with that major version is used. By the default the very latest version is used.
The name of the project as it would appear on PyPI is NAME. By default the name is derived from the fully qualified name of the sip module.
Create an sdist which can then be installed by pip or uploaded to PyPI.
FILE is copied to the sdist as setup.cfg instead of the default version. This allows the meta-data included in the sdist to be customised. A number of macros may be specified in the setup.cfg file: @SIP_MODULE_FQ_NAME@ is replaced by the fully qualified name of the sip module.

@SIP_MODULE_PACKAGE_NAME@ is replaced by the module's project top-level package name.

@SIP_MODULE_PROJECT_NAME@ is replaced by the module's project name as it would appear on PyPI.

@SIP_MODULE_VERSION@ is replaced by the version number of the module.

Create a sip.h header file that defines the C ABI implemented by the sip module.
Create a sip.rst file that documents the Python API implemented by the sip module.
Each of the module's elements will be created in DIR.
