[Distutils] unneeded warning about missing readme in case of rst

Hi,

I often get warnings like:

warning: sdist: standard file not found: should have one of README, 
README.txt

The reason for the missing file is that it is called README.rst now 
because bitbucket and github pick up that extension. Is there something 
that can be done about this warning?
