A 'python setup.py sdist' will include the docs directory, as long as
it is in subversion (and has at least one file in it).  Aha, when you
create an sdist in a subversion export (instead of a checkout) then
the docs dir does not get included.  Probably because setup.py does
not point to it.

With 'bdist_egg' the docs dir is indeed never included, unless you
have it in MANIFEST.in.  But I'm trying to avoid creating binary eggs
at the moment.
