Perry,
Actually, I was already aware of that, and the MKS Toolkit as well
(which includes a non-free version of find). However, these are both
third-party addons, even if one is free. Since the use of find in
this case is quite simple, I think implementing a "manifest" command
in distutils would be worth the 15-20 lines of code it would take.
I'd hate for us to recommend users to go install YASP ("yet another
software package") just to be able to get a list of files and
directories!

Extreme off-topic... Cygwin was benchtested by an Australian computer magazine and it verified that GCC (DJGPP) generates smaller files quicker and in less space than Visual C. [Now I know why python compiles so quickly compared to VC project file;)] Seriously, Cygwin is basicaly unix for NT Cheers, Anthony Pfrunder Computer Systems Engineering University of Queensland
