There is no such option as "--find-packages"; it's "-f" or 
"--find-links".  Also, you should not include a trailing '/' or '\' 
when specifying file paths.

If you want to check whether a directory is being processed, increase 
the verbosity of setuptools output to at least '-vv'; then you should 
see a series of "Found:" lines appear listing the contents of the 
target directory.
