[Distutils] Deprecate MANIFEST.in

[Tarek Ziadé]

Hello

After some discussions with people at Pycon, we think that the
MANIFEST template should be removed.

I would like to deprecate MANIFEST.in in Distutils, in favor of a
package_data that can match directories with a glob-style pattern
see : http://bugs.python.org/issue5302

If no one objects I will:

- deprecate it with a warning in Python 2.7
- add the glob-style pattern for package_data

Cheers
Tarek
