Hi, I wrote a patch for the above commands. Both commands derive from install_misc, which copies some files to a given directory and is defined in cmd.py. With the attached patch you can now have "scripts=[...]" and "data=[...]" attributes in setup.py. By the way: I was not able to TeX the documentation because I found no howto.cls file (the files are using \documentclass{howto}). There should be a make file to compile all the various .tex files.
