Why?  Python can open it fine, and it’s not meant for human edition, so the 
stupidity of notepad.exe is not a problem <wink>.

The problem is that the docs never say that MANIFEST is cross-platform, so I’m 
not sure changing this qualify for a bug fix.  I have to find time to ask 
distutils-sig.

See also my point 1) in my previous message: the tests don’t test anything on 
non-Windows.

For d2 however we can change the MANIFEST format as we like.
