[issue5302] Allow package_data specs/globs to match directories

[Éric Araujo]

Éric Araujo <merwok at netwok.org> added the comment:

Or on the contrary, we could remove the special, not-supported-by-other-parts-of-the-stdlib ** syntax and just expand somedir to match all files in subdir and descendents, in package_data and resources.  I’ll make a patch for this idea to see how it looks.
