Michael Foord <mich...@voidspace.org.uk> added the comment:

Given that Windows can't handle tar files by default but all platforms
support zip out of the box wouldn't (unfortunately) zip be a better default?

For the MANIFEST I meant the file called MANIFEST that distutils creates
(and includes in the distribution) when you run "setup.py sdist".
