setup.py should be able to generate tarfile distributions on Windows
without requiring tar to be on the path.

Ideally "setup.py sdist" should create the same type of archive (zip or
tarball) by default independent of platform.

At the moment it creates a zip by default on Windows and a tarball on
Linux / OS X.

Packages created on Windows also have CRLF line endings in the MANIFEST
file which is a nuisance for non-Windows consumers of distributions.
