Currently, the MANIFEST is not consulted at all when installing or  
running, an activity works fine even without it.

Only the bundle builder (setup.py) to package your activity uses it.  
The bundle builder also includes many files implicitly so they do not  
have to be listed in MANIFEST.

The situation might change once bundles are required to be signed,  
but I don't know those plans.
