A colleague at Tideway found that he couldn't build an RPM from the
0.2 tarball. The problem was caused by a broken MANIFEST.in. Today I
learned that MANIFEST.in needs to contain an entry for each header
file as well as a reference to itself, so distutils can build
distributions from source tarballs.
The working version (0.2.1) can be downloaded from
http://esmre.googlecode.com/files/esmre-0.2.1.tar.gz. I've deprecated
the older tarballs as they won't work.
