[Distutils] Including 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

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