the ptl files show up fine when i extract the tar.gz built with
setup.py sdist.  it's when i run the setup.py install that they don't
get copied into site-packages.  i believe the MANIFEST file has
nothing to do with this second step.

i could hard code the destination directory, but that is
platform-specific.
