[issue2279] distutils sdist add_defaults does not add data_files

[George Sakkis]

George Sakkis <george.sakkis at gmail.com> added the comment:

Agreed; package_data are also ignored by sdist. Unfortunately, neither
setuptools seems to work as expected on sdist but at least bdist_egg does.

MANIFEST.in is an ugly hack and should be deprecated; you shouldn't have
to repeat yourself in two files.
