Comment (by duncan):

 Main modules that need pre-processing half work. :-)
 The half that does not work is including them into the src tarball.

 Perhaps we are free to change the interpretation of `main-is` when using
 pre-processors since due to the sdist bug it would have been hard for any
 existing packages to use that feature.

 I think `main-is` is a bit of a wart. It specifies some kind of file name
 where all the other bits us a module name. This is reflected internally in
 the code where most of this stuff works in terms of module names and the
 `main-is` has to be hacked in. :-(
