As detailed in issue #128 and issue #152, it's sometimes desirable to have a platform-specific platform tag even on pure Python wheels. This is now possible with the --plat-tag option, but this requires the user to know what the correct tag is for the build platform. This information is easily acquired from python setup.py bdist_wheel --help or by calling distutils.util.get_platform(), but it'd be more convenient and less error-prone if there was a way to specify "I want the default platform-specific tag on this pure python wheel."
This could be done in a few different ways:
A special reserved platform tag passed to --plat-tag like default, arch_default, platform_default, platform, etc.
