I wrote a check_manifest.py script to help me maintain MANIFEST.in files:
https://gist.github.com/4277075

It's currently incomplete (the presence of a setuptools plugin will
throw it off and make it assume your manifest is more complete than it
is), but quite usable already.  Best of all, it prints suggested include
lines I can copy and paste (because I can never remember the proper
syntax).
