[issue2279] distutils sdist add_defaults does not add data_files

Right, but if MANIFEST.in is removed, I can see cases where you would
need the same kind of mini-syntax in your setup.py.

For instance, how would you tell sdist to recursively add files located
in a directory (like the current recursive-include feature of MANIFEST.in) ?
