Added 'remove_duplicates()'.
Simplified constructor: no longer take 'files' or 'allfiles' as args,
  and no longer have 'dir' attribute at all.
Added 'set_allfiles()' and 'findall()' so the client does have a
  way to set the list of all files.
Changed 'include_pattern()' to use the 'findall()' method instead of
  the external function.  (Of course, the method is just a trivial
  wrapper around the function.)

the sdist command and adapt it to use the new FileList class instead.

Note that this patch looks worse than it is - an existing function (getproxies() for all platforms other than Win/Mac) has been moved, renamed and indentation changed, but the body of that function is identical.  Windows now allows the environment variables to override the registry.
