 - The user interface to `cibuildwheel` is the build script (e.g. `.travis.yml`). Feature additions should not increase the complexity of this script.
 - Options should be environment variables (these lend themselves better to YML config files). They should be prefixed with `CIBW_`.

 Other notes:
 
-- The platforms are very similar, until they're not. I'd rather have straight-forward code than totally DRY code, so let's keep airy platform abstractions to a minimum.

 - I might want to break the options into a shared config file one day, so that config is more easily shared. That has motivated some of the design decisions.
