[Distutils] wheel including files it shouldn't

[Donald Stufft]

Alternatively, he could have just produced a wheel from any checkout at all if
the MANIFEST.in excluded a file that would otherwise have been installed. This
sort of thing is why I'm an advocate that we should only build sdists from
checkouts, and wheels from sdists (at the low level anyways, even if the UI
allows people to appear to create a wheel straight from a checkout).

1.1.3 zip sdist produces a clean wheel, as expected. ​You should use
<https://pypi.python.org/pypi/check-manifest> in your release process.
