Generally speaking, I would avoid using "meta-file" as a distribution
mechanism, precisely for this reason: it's too easy to forget adding
particular files.  The targz distribution method works fine with GitHub.

We talked on IRC about using meta-file, but that was in an attempt to
avoid forking the upstream eggs, but that didn't work out.
