generalize fix for issue #197 from 1cd816bb7c933eecd9d8464e054b21c7d5daf2df

3.1. The underlying distutils issue affected all those vesions and has been
fixed in the Python 3.2.2 release.

Extend docstring for test_write_manifest_skips_non_utf8_filenames
Test should use the same high-level interface for appending filenames as the object itself will use when building the filelist. Ideally, FileList wouldn't expose this attribute at all.
FileList.append already excludes files that are not UTF-8 encodable, so rely on it when building the manifest. Ref #193
Fix failure on non-Windows systems
