BuildingARelease documents the procedure to build Foswiki release packages. At step 9 of the Before generating a release package section, the tools/check_manifest.pl script is mentioned and it should be run from the tools/ directory. But it dies with the following message:
No such MANIFEST MANIFEST at ./check_manifest.pl line 13.

It searches for the MANIFEST file at the tools directory.

If it's run from the lib/ directory, then it warns that many files are in subversion but not in MANIFEST (it seems to not recognize !include directives).

It seems to work correctly if run from the lib/Foswiki/Contrib/core directory.

It also mentions twikiplugins directory, that doesn't exist.

Since the script runs from lib/Foswiki/Contrib/core correctly, I found the best/easiest fix was to updated the instructions.

I also removed twikiplugins from the skip list, since it doesn't exist.
