manifestdict: drop empty-string argument when creating empty manifest

manifestdict() creates an empty manifestdict, so let's consistently
use that instead of explicitly parsing an empty string (which does
result in an empty manifest).

import sys

globalvars = {}
lines = sys.stdin.readlines()
while lines:
    l = lines.pop(0)
    if l.startswith('SALT'):
        print l[:-1]
    elif l.startswith('>>> '):
        snippet = l[4:]
        while lines and lines[0].startswith('... '):
            l = lines.pop(0)
            snippet += l[4:]
        c = compile(snippet, '<heredoc>', 'single')
        try:
            exec c in globalvars
        except Exception, inst:
            print repr(inst)
