When creating a source distribution via 'python3 setup.py sdist', the VERSION and PACKAGE.rst files aren't bundled by default. Create a MANIFEST.in file that instructs the build tools to include these so that installation from source dists won't fail.
(This invocation is required by 'tox', as well as by the tooling needed to upload packages to PyPI.)
