pip-compile unable to find PIL distribution

Well, after further investigation, I found, that pip (1.4.1), by default, sets allow_all_insecure and allow_all_external on PackageFinder during pip install. Although such simple patch fixes the issue:

diff --git a/piptools/package_manager.py b/piptools/package_manager.py
index 7b3125a..56da428 100644
--- a/piptools/package_manager.py

                     mirrors=[],

                 )
                 link = finder.find_requirement(requirement, False)
                 self._link_cache[specline] = link

I think it is not best idea, to hardcode these parameters. It is better to add ability to pass any unknown command line option down to pip's package manager.

Agreed, passing down options makes sense.
