So I search some of the old emails and I found that setuptools reads
.svn stuff if they are there and that is how it knows what to include.
This doesn't seem to work with setuptoolsbzr, I've added a tickiet.

As far as keeping a manifest.in, that seems like a lot of work? What
would be a command on setup.py that would run "put all the files in
manifest.in" and then I could take out what I don't want. Currently I
want all the files in, things change a lot so keeping track manually
would not be an option.

Thanks,
