You'll need to create a MANIFEST.in file and include some simple instructions on what extra files you want to include (See MANIFEST.in Template)

Example (to include docs dir and all files directly underneath):

include docs/*

or, to include all files in the doc dir (recursively):

recursive-include docs *
