[Distutils] Empty directories in eggs

[Martin Aspeli]

Hi,

I tried to build an egg from this tag, using bdist_egg and sdist:

  http://svn.plone.org/svn/collective/ZopeSkel/tags/0.5/

However, the packaged egg lost several directories, such as:
 
http://svn.plone.org/svn/collective/ZopeSkel/tags/0.5/zopeskel/templates/plone3_buildout/products/

These are empty, but under version control. To get them into the egg (I 
need it because it's part of a Paste Script template which expects the 
empty directories to be there), I had to add some mostly-empty (if 
slightly useful) README.txt files (on the 0.6 tag).

Bug or feature? ;-)

Martin
