[Distutils] copy binaries in egg

[Andrea Crotti]

I have custom code to create a nice installer from many Python eggs.

The problem is that in these eggs there are many binary files, as for
example png or sometimes even dlls (sigh), and they are not declared
anywhere in setup.py or Manifest.in.

The best solution would be of course to force everyone to include them
in setup.py, which would make them part of the package when running
egg_info.

This is probably not feasible because:
- they are too many and everywhere
- there is no easy way to detect from the developer if he's including
   everything, and the only way would be to see the errors on Hudson

So the only solution left is to:
1. build with bdist_egg
2. copy inside the build egg all the binaries found

any suggestions about how to do that or other ideas?

This procedure should normally be run always on the Hudson server, so I
can make sure for example that there are no artifacts and the directory
tree is always clean..
