When we encountered this problem during the Foliage sprint, the problem
was not the use of .zip instead of .tar.gz, but a manifest with \r\n
line endings inside the archive.  setuptools did rstrip('\n') on the
lines and then tried to copy nonexistent files with a names that ended
in '\r'.  The bug was fixed on the same day in a newer setuptools 0.6
prerelease.
