hello distutils. i've got my sizeable package that distutils is now handling really well. i've got some questions on how to best cleanup some loose ends. first, the package comes with a good supply of documentation and example code. this is really useful and i'd like to do my best to guarantee anyone who installs also has these on hand. currently these files are all in my MANIFEST template, so they are included with the "sdist" archives. i haven't put them into my "install_data" yet, because i'm not sure where i should put them. i've seen pyopengl just puts all this into it's installed "site-packages" directory, which hasn't bothered me really, but i don't know if all users will be able to find it there. has anyone figured out a standard way to do this, perhaps distutils should also have a "install_docs" command which can put things in the proper place? in my specific case the docs are in HTML, and the sample code requires the use of many binary data files. i'm just not sure what to do with these?
