There were pre-generated files missing from the tgz that are only required
when you build without having Cython installed (which I didn't test...). They
were renamed since alpha4 but were not adapted in the MANIFEST that defines
the archive content.

I just re-uploaded a fixed archive (same version number, as nothing else
changed). Please retry with that.
