[Distutils] Data files with setuptools

[Adeel Ahmad Khan]

I am having some trouble including data files in the egg installed by
setuptools.  I've listed the data files in MANIFEST.in and set
include_package_data = True.

    % ls
    LICENSE		README		ez_setup.py	timed.py
    MANIFEST.in	cmdapp.py	setup.py

    % cat setup.py
    from ez_setup import use_setuptools
    use_setuptools()
    from setuptools import setup

    setup(
      # ...
      py_modules=['timed', 'cmdapp'],
      entry_points={'console_scripts': ['timed = timed:main']},
      include_package_data=True,
      install_requires=['PyYAML'],
      zip_safe=False,
    )

    % cat MANIFEST.in
    include *.py
    include README
    include LICENSE

    % sudo python setup.py install

Why isn't README there?  What do I need to do to include it?
