Comment (by duncan):

 Or maybe we should assume that `foo` is generated (by an unknown pre-
 processor) by `foo.in` (if `foo.in` exists) and so it is `foo.in` that
 should go in the sdist and not `foo`.

 Though that also violates our rule about putting generated files in
 `dist/` and not back in the source tree.
