I have changed some things in your patch.  There are still two issues:

1) setting os.sep to \ in the tests is not enough to trigger the bug.  This 
means that the tests really test something only on Windows.  I’ll edit them to 
mock the OS layer and return paths with \, so that we can check that manifest 
or sdist does the conversion.

2) I am not sure we can actually change this in distutils, because of the 
compatibility policy.  The documentation does not say that the MANIFEST file 
should be portable, so I’ll ask on distutils-sig for feedback.
