Missing files in sdist

[thatch]

It appears that the manifest is missing at least one file necessary to build from the sdist for version 0.3.7. You're in good company, about 5% of other projects updated in the last year are also missing files.

I admit I'm not super familiar with python packaging. I wonder why it's unhappy about HISTORY.rst but okay with README.md not being included -- weird!

(Maybe because it's assigned to a top-level variable? To be honest, I have no idea whether it's even necessary to read in HISTORY.rst -- this setup.py was copied from an example somewhere. Oh well!)

It's because README.<foo> is specialcased in setuptools.
