`yamllint/conf/*.yml` remains in `setup.py`'s `package_data` because it
needs to be installed when running `pip install .`.

`docs/*` and `tests/yaml-1.2-spec-examples/*` just need to be packaged,
they can go in the manifest.

yamllint
========

A linter for YAML files.

yamllint does not only check for syntax validity, but for weirdnesses like key
repetition and cosmetic problems such as lines length, trailing spaces,
indentation, etc.
