[issue12388] cannot specify recursive extra_files in packaging setup.cfg

[Vinay Sajip]

New submission from Vinay Sajip <vinay_sajip at yahoo.co.uk>:

When given a section like

[files]
extra_files =
    somedir/**

only the first-level contents of somedir and included in the tarball created when you run "pysetup3 run sdist". Ideally, the entire tree below somedir should be included.

A real example is referenced in https://gist.github.com/1041219
