I will join GSOC2011 and I find this bug is a good test for me to submit my patch as a scoring judgment.

I have created a diff file to confirm this bug, but setuptools may have already fix it, because when using 'python setup.py sdist' to create the source distribution, file paths in SOURCES.txt are correctly with '/' as separator. However, when running the test_sdist.py tests, the problem Jeremy raised exists. 

So, it means that distutils still has this problem, but setuptools fix it.
