A way to provide a ipython_kernel_config in jupyter-book?

Hi, we have recently switched to jupyter-book to write project documentation as jupyter notebooks, and it works great! We have an automated build system set up to build the documentation whenever any changes are committed to the repository.

However, when several people work on the same docs, they rely on their own default ipython profile. As a result, the documentation may be built with different settings depending on which user builds the book. To make matters worse, if the build is automated (like in our case), the ipython config on the build server is often different from the local user config. As a result, the locally built documentation often differs from the one built on the build server.

It would be great if there was a way to specify the ipython profile or ipython_kernel_config.py to use when building the jupyter book, so that results are always consistent no matter where the book is built. Is there any mechanism for achieving something like this?
