It isn't that much larger, if you consider the amount of code you don't
have to write by using MANIFEST-like templates to collect your file names.
(about one third of the code)
On the other side it gives you more control where your files are copied 
to. (stripping of leading directories, ...) (about one half of the code)

It was designed to be more general in solving the problem, so it is more 
code in it.

(And as I see in the CVS you are still using it?
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/pyopengl/PyOpenGL2/setup.py?rev=1.61&view=auto 
)

Kind regards
