Feature or enhancement

To provide the ability to disable modules in the configure-based build system like the now removed setup.py did.

Pitch

Until the removal of setup.py, it was possible to disable modules by editing DISABLED_MODULE_LIST.

In the past I used this to disable _tkinter.

In the configure based system, this is still possible but relies on internal variable names. I can pass py_cv_module__tkinter=disabled to ./configure. It would be useful to have something that was documented rather than having to rely on internal variables like that.

Not yet, but can do if desired.
