Now that distutils uses tarfile (see #6048) we can propose a tar archive
on all platform by default without requiring "tar" to be installed.

Althoug, the gz compression requires the zlib module. I need to check
what are the requirements of its installation in the sdtlib.

For the MANIFEST file, do you mean the file generated by MANIFEST.in ?
