Summary: sdist can't create empty directories

Initial Comment:
If a file fails an os.path.isfile()
check, sdist.py skips it and prints a warning.  That's
probably worth
loosening so an empty directory can be created in a
source distribution by listing it in the MANIFEST.

Probably not worth fixing.  Closing.

amk, should this be fixed?  Is the problem at line 420 in
distutils/command/sdist.py?
