Alright, I've put in my MANIFEST.in file:
recursive-include path/to/dojo/*

But when I run ``python setup.py install`` the files don't appear in  
the egg that is installed to .../site-packages/

The SOURCES.txt file DOES have the correct list of files, though, and  
when I use ``setup.py sdist`` the correct files are included there too.

Is there some subtle difference between an "install" and an "sdist"  
that I'm missing?
