setuptools 06a9 I believe added support for the:
include_package_data=True,
option. It will automatically include all the package data in your
project thats under either CVS or SVN version control. I've found it
rather nice. :)

I actually got stung bad by this earlier for the following reason. If
you setup.py indicates you require certain dependencies, perhaps your
project needs package XXX. Then your setup.py goes and includes the
version from your project/__init__.py, and your __init__.py also
happens to import some stuff that imports some stuff that imports
package XXX. It's quite likely package XXX wasn't installed yet, and
the process will die as such, because setuptools hasn't had the chance
to install dependencies. It was still busy pulling your version
number...
Some thoughts. :)
