When given a section like

[files]
extra_files =
    somedir/**

only the first-level contents of somedir and included in the tarball created when you run "pysetup3 run sdist". Ideally, the entire tree below somedir should be included.

A real example is referenced in https://gist.github.com/1041219

+1.  We have a function in the util module to handle such extended globs (it’s used by the resources code), so this should not be hard.
