[issue828450] sdist generates bad MANIFEST on Windows

[higery]

higery <shoulderhigher at gmail.com> added the comment:

It may be just necessary to hack the write_manifest funtion in sdist.py- replace all '\' in MANIFEST with '/', thus it will not have other bad side effects, for instance, it would not change the content of self.filelist and people can also use '/' in MANIFEST template file on windows as usual.
