IMHO. The bundling option should be entirely removed. I have never been 
able to get it to work. If someone wants bundling, use an installer. 
That's the only to get true bundling.

The manifest is the primary way to get the more modern look. There's no 
reason it should cause a crash, most here use it all the time. You'll 
probably have to post your setup.py.
