Creating a source distribution: the `sdist' command
===================================================

*fragment moved down from above: needs context!*

The manifest template commands are:
Command                              Description
------                               -----
include PAT1 PAT2 ...                include all files matching any of
                                     the listed patterns
exclude PAT1 PAT2 ...                exclude all files matching any of
                                     the listed patterns
recursive-include DIR PAT1 PAT2 ...  include all files under DIR
                                     matching any of the listed patterns
recursive-exclude DIR PAT1 PAT2 ...  exclude all files under DIR
                                     matching any of the listed patterns
global-include PAT1 PAT2 ...         include all files anywhere in the
                                     source tree matching\& any of the
                                     listed patterns
global-exclude PAT1 PAT2 ...         exclude all files anywhere in the
                                     source tree matching\& any of the
                                     listed patterns
prune DIR                            exclude all files under DIR
graft DIR                            include all files under DIR

The patterns here are UNIX-style "glob" patterns: `*' matches any
sequence of regular filename characters, `?' matches any single regular
filename character, and `[RANGE]' matches any of the characters in
RANGE (e.g., `a-z', `a-zA-Z', `a-f0-9_.').  The definition of "regular
filename character" is platform-specific: on UNIX it is anything except
slash; on Windows anything except backslash or colon; on MacOS anything
except colon.
