Oops. I think I used our recipe's "python setup.py sdist" step to create
the tarballs, but if that does the wrong thing with file nodes, then
maybe we need to fix the recipe. I'll make a note to write a
"make_release_tarballs.py" script, put it in the tree, and include a
self-test that opens up the newly-generated tarball and checks the
permissions.

For 1.9, I'll make a new (fixed) tarball and put it up in the same place
as the old one. I'll send out mail with the new hashes when I do that
(maybe tomorrow).

cheers,
