Since it's setuptools-based project use include_package_data=True.
This is documented at
<http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/setuptools#including-data-files>

Unfortunately, I cannot get this approach to work. I tried both just include_package_data = True and specifics with package_data=<lots of specifics>

All of the gfx files are included in the manifest, and all of the files are under subversion control.

maybe:

I am using the wrong version of something (e.g. python or setuptools)?

I need to include a __init__.py in my gfx/ directories so they look like packages?
