[Distutils] wheel including files it shouldn't

[Donald Stufft]

This isn't really a problem with what you're doing. Rather it's an issue with
the toolchain and and open question whether or not wheels should conceptually
be able to be produced from a checkout, or if they should only be produced
from a sdist. Problems like this are why I advocate the Checkout -> sdist
-> wheel being the only path, but others feel differently.
