Same here. The reason, for me, is that generating META.yml is almost
always predictable but generating MANIFEST very often reveals that
something should have been done to MANIFEST.SKIP.
There is the caveat that regenerating needs to be done consistently.
For instance, `rm MANIFEST` and `>MANIFEST` yield different results
(and of course you *must* empty or delete the file before ./Build
manifest to pickup on the fact that a file was removed.) The MANIFEST
provided by Module::Starter also doesn't match the generated order,
comments, etc. But once you get through all of that, you can see a
nice diff whenever you change it ;-)
