    I've been playing around with the bdist_rpm command in distutils
and noticed that if a non pure module does not include a MANIFEST file then=
=20
bdist_rpm fails because it doesn't include .h files (also sdist generates
an unusable tar ball for the same module). =20
    Some of the comments in the distutils mention that without a manifest
the sdist doesn't include the header files.  Was this a policy decision or
was it just because no one implemented something to get the header=20
files?
