test_compat fails: missing cfgparse.1

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Download pristine 0.4 tarball, untar
2. python setup.py build
3. ./runtests.py

Expected:

Should succeed all tests

Actual:

Fails for test_compat, in every case because cfgparse.1 is missing from the 
tarball. I was going to run iniparse through 2to3 to see if it ran in 3 (I've 
seen patches to make it compatible), and tests are quite useful in making sure 
iniparse works after that.

Versions:

iniparse 0.4 from the download page, with python 2.7.3rc2 in debian testing.

Could you provide the verbatim error message from running the tests?  I'm 
unable to reproduce the problem.

Because you have cfgparse.1 somewhere, but not all installations do. 
Will attach console output when I have access to the debian system again.

Found it - it's in the python-test package on my Fedora system.  It's part of 
Python's test suite, and it called from iniparse's compatibility tests.  Given 
that I'm already copying python's configparser tests into iniparse, it would 
make sense to copy this file as well.
