Packaging/MANIFEST.in: Incude All, Exclude .gitignore

[Albert-Jan Roskam]

   you could call a simple bash script in a git hook that syncs your
   MANIFEST.in with your .gitignore. Something like:
   echo -n "exclude " > MANIFEST.in
   cat .gitignore | tr '\n' ' ' >> MANIFEST.in
   echo "graft $(readlink -f ./keep/this)" >> MANIFEST.in
