If a file fails an os.path.isfile() check, sdist.py skips it and prints a warning. That's probably worth loosening so an empty directory can be created in a source distribution by listing it in the MANIFEST.

Logged In: YES user_id=33168 amk, should this be fixed? Is the problem at line 420 in distutils/command/sdist.py?
