If manual source releasing is `python setup.py sdist && twine upload dist/*`, then "manual" wheel releasing is `python setup.py sdist bdist_wheel && twine upload dist/*`.  It doesn't seem like that should be a crushing maintenance burden :-).

Although perhaps there's something I'm missing?  The subtleties of binary compatibility often escape me.
