in thread MANIFEST.SKIP and ignoring gvim .swp files

Digging further, it seems that the MANIFEST is not the problem. The contents of this file are always clean - no .swp files appear.

It seems that the logic behind the scenes in MakeMaker is detecting these files when it writes the Makefile.

I'll carry on digging.
