[Distutils] including ez_setup in sdist output

[Matthew Scott]

The following answers the question I was about to post.  Consequently,
I am going to attempt to create a patch for setuptools that gives it
svk support since I rather dislike using svn itself (see
http://svk.elixus.org/) :)

By default, setuptools will include any file under Subversion or CVS
revision control in the source distribution.  If you're not using one of
those revision control tools, you have to use the standard distutils
MANIFEST.in rules file to specify what files to include in the source
distribution.  See here for more details:
