Steps to reproduce the problem:
1: Run "python setup.py sdist --formats=gztar,tar".
2. dist directory now contains "module.gztar" and "module.tar" files
as expected.
3: Run "python setup.py sdist --formats=tar,gztar".
4. dist directory now contains only "module.gztar" file.

Reason:
Since for every argument specified in "--formats" option a new .tar file
is created every time by using the UNIX tar utility, the .tar file is
removed/overwritten when creating subsequent archives.
